2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn: 1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business; 2. worry over small presses closing or paring down. Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀 IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a 🧵 of em you can support directly:

next submission call in ~48 hours! Tuesday, June 10, 10 am ET! looking for SQUARE blocks of text. what that means, vaguely: ~280-290 words, no linebreaks, no paragraph breaks. what that means, specifically: 20 lines of text w/ HAD formatting: havehashad.com/pages/wysiwyg

HAD for Squares
One of my favorite things on the site is the way a solid, square block of text looks under the banner of skulls. So... let's do a call for all and only those pieces!

Meaning, generally, one paragraph with 20 lines of text. Depending on the words themselves, I've figured out that that usually means ~280-290 words.

If you want to be real specific (and, tbh, I'd love it if you do), you can figure that out for your piece exactly with HAD WYSISYG formatter:

https://www.havehashad.com/pages/wysiwyg

No real theme or anything. Mostly just give me text that looks like perfect squares of text.

You can send up to 3 different pieces (submit them together please).

Submissions will be capped at 150 — so, you (probably) know the deal: get 'em in fast.

If you're reading this, you probably have a pretty good idea of what I/HAD like, but some stuff that jumps to my mind:

Submissions will open at 10 a.m. ET, Tuesday, June 10.

Thanks!
