I think the time has come for us to abandon this platform for what I hope are obvious reasons.
But don't despair! You can still find us on that happy little website where the grass is green and the sky is blue.
Follow us there at havenspec.bsky.social!

I'm enjoying reading my contributor's copy of @HavenSpec mag (not my own story because once something's published I can't read it again in case I want to change something😅).
Great interview with @eerieyore and @lindzmcleod! That forthcoming collab antho sounds super, Lindsey!

Have you checked out @HavenSpec’s Kickstarter?
They put out amazing sf/f/h and are awesome when it comes to environmentalism in fiction!
I’m offering 2 fiction critiques as rewards! Check it out!!!

Posting on behalf of @HavenSpec!
Today sees the launch of their Kickstarter. They're a professionally paying mag who treat their authors and artists fairly, so please support if at all possible.🙏

Contract signed! Ahhh! I'm so happy to share that my poem "she brings me waves, she brings me wind" about a transfemme sailor who invokes a sea goddess for comfort will come out in a future @HavenSpec issue :') (thank you to the editors who gave this piece a lovely home!💚)

Re-opening to submissions
We'll also open to submissions in February and stay open indefinitely, alternating each month between a general submission window and limited demographic window. How much stuff we can buy will depend on how much money we raise!
