@wiswell.bsky.socialReposted by @kittrick.bsky.socialIn light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!
@zzclaybourne.bsky.socialReposted by @kittrick.bsky.socialBLACK SPECULATIVE FICTION MONTH Approaching the 2nd weekend of the annual October celebration of the Black Fantastic, gotta ask if you've read anything by Charles Saunders, L.A. Banks, or -contemporarily- Veronica Henry, Malon Edwards, Tana Jenkins, Leslye Penelope, Rob Cameron, Linda Addison...

@johnpicacio.bsky.socialReposted by @kittrick.bsky.social🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art.

@johnpicacio.bsky.socialReposted by @kittrick.bsky.socialQuestion for any authors who have had recent contract dealings w/ Must Read Magazines & ASIMOV’S. Have they asked you to surrender copyright of your stories to them? They want me to create new cover art & they want to own copyright of the art. Seems like a pretty outrageous rights grab.
@kittrick.bsky.socialHow I arrived on Bluesky.
@kittrick.bsky.socialI learned this initially by taking a sewing class that was way above my experience level.
@kittrick.bsky.socialSeriously, my top learning advice to anyone trying to pick up a new skill is to try a project that you know is difficult for you, and finish it anyway. You might do a bad job, but you will learn soo much!
@kittrick.bsky.socialMe: all excited to learn ZBrush.

@kittrick.bsky.socialThe Fallen God by @brittacait.bsky.social is wicked Autumnal. Literally has a pumpkin character.
