What human secrets does a poplar take? I'm working on a flash piece that intermingles the human and the nonhuman. 🌳 #flashfiction #plantsinfiction #writersofbluesky

Serpent’s Wood is coming to Elsewhere! Have you ever read Hungarian folk fantasy? The first chapter, in Vivien Urban’s translation, will appear in the second edition. Can’t wait to share this world with you all. 🐍 @uofgfantasy.bsky.social

Thank you for your input, everyone. I think we miss out on many unique voices due to the anglo-centric logic of the global book market. E.g. I would love to know how Central/Eastern European SFF writers reflect on the current turmoil in the world. *waves hello to all marginalised writers*

No literary agents in Hungary. UK agents rarely take translations. As an established writer in my native language, I keep running into closed doors on the English market. Fellow writers: Has anyone cracked the "small-language-author" problem? Share your magic tricks. #authorproblems

I am staying in Sweden for a residency until the end of November - a gloomy yet magical place to write, much like the world of John Bauer's illustrations. #Lidköping

Hello, bsky. I am a Hungarian writer drawn to memory, marginalised voices, and the uncanny places where the real and the magical overlap. Happy to meet other writers.
