An Exciting Announcement!
The whump community is one of the kindest, friendliest, and most supportive communities on the internet. Without the support I’ve gotten through this community, I don’t think I would have ever developed confidence in my writing abilities and pursued my dream of becoming a published author. It is not an exaggeration that this community has been truly life-changing for me, and I’ve finally figured out how to give back.
I @whumpy-writings and my co-editor @thecyrulik are starting The Whumpy Printing Press to help whump writers fulfill their dreams of seeing their words in print.
Starting May 1, we will be collecting stories for Hurt and Comfort: A Whump Anthology. This book will be self-published in ebook, hardcover, and paperback.
Theme: This anthology is a celebration of the whump community. We take a broad view of whump- it can be physical or emotional. Your stories can be hurt no comfort or comfort no hurt, just as long as they touch on whump in some way.
Submissions open: May 1, 2022
Open for submissions until: August 1, 2022
Tentative Publication Date: September 27, 2022
