The Unsung Masters Series @unsung-masters.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Unsung Masters Co-Directors and series editors @kevinprufer.bsky.social and Martin Rock (@infinite-scroll.bsky.social) have a new book coming out with @weslpress.bsky.social later this year. It's a stunning cover, reflecting a messier and more tangled literary history than is often presented.

#ChatsByTheCauldron - This is my fourth prompt for #ABLArtFest… and maybe my favorite?! I really love how the leaves turned out for the background and these characters are some of my favorites. I wonder what they’re all chatting about? 🍂🍁 . #picturebook #kidlit #kidlitart @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Cut paper art with pressed autumn leaves that form a forest around a campfire. There’s a large cauldron on the campfire and fairies around it looking cozy and chatting.

Check out our interview with Stage & Screen alum Mckensi Scy Pascall on the power of creativity, finding inspiration, and how the stipend she received from CCW gave her the confidence she needed to believe in her story and keep writing: cambridgecommonwriters.org/being-gentle...

An interview quote from Mckensi Scy Pascall (featured on the right), Writing for Stage and Screen, June 2024 alum, which reads: "The stories you have to tell will always matter to someone and that first person should be you, so keep saying what your soul is saying needs to be said."
