@LondonReaderMag is open until 11/15 for "Plant Life." "Stories, poems, essays, and art about the secret lives of plants and the people who live with them." This is a contemporary magazine, but many suggested prompts for the call are speculative. londonreader.uk/2022/10/open…

What were those hovering lights in the night sky? What is at Area 51 anyway? But more importantly, what do these questions—and the answers we imagine—tell us about ourselves? The summer issue, UFOs: Stories of Aliens and Disinformation, is out now! londonreader.uk/ufos

The best screenwriting advice I ever received was to set aside time each day to write, no matter how bad or how good... just write. The most important element of writing is discipline.
