May the best book win - a few thoughts on judging a writing competition

As you might have seen from previous posts and newsletters, I’m one of the judges in the 2025 International Voices in Creative Non-Fiction competition. I’ve just finished my reading and I’ve learned a few things. How to compare chalk and cheese? Creative non-fiction is a term that covers just about every literary form. Some entries are in verse. Some are short stories. Some are experimental…

I'm not that girl you thought I was. You're not. You, Summer, are better. See, back then you were just this fantasy. You were this little girl, who, when I would see, you would either ignore me, or make an obscene gesture and keep on walking. Yeah, I kind of remember that, sorry. But now look at you. You fight for sea otters, you've befriended Taylor Townsend. You're an incredible mom to that bunny. I guess I have changed. You've evolved. And over the last 950 days we've been dating, yes, I've counted and yes, I counted the Zach era, because, really, who were we kidding? I've watched you grow into this incredible woman. And that is who I love. SETH & SUMMER in THE OC (2003-2007)

I never don't have to look up slash spacing when it comes up at work, because on a purely aesthetic level, I hate how having spaces on either side of a slash looks. That said, per CMOS, it's not strictly wrong if one or more of the terms being separated are open compounds. It just looks ugly as all hell. To illustrate my point, here's an example:

World War I/First World War

World War II / Second World War

You cannot convince me that the second one doesn't look wrong and archaic, like some leftover from when we put two spaces after periods when we used manual typewriters.

Just read your post about Fourth Wing. I haven't read it, but as a bookseller who's been watching it sell since day one and has multiple coworkers who've enjoyed it, the fact that I'm only just now hearing that the main character has EDS is pretty telling about how it's presented in the book...which is sad because having good disability rep in a book as popular as Fourth Wing would've been amazing

It truly would and that’s partly why I’m so disappointed.

Everyone and I mean everyone was telling me about this book when it took off and it was being heavily pushed in disabled spaces as ‘positive disabled rep’ and then it just… the number of people who messaged me since yesterday going, “Wait, Violet’s disabled???”

And like, I can’t even blame it on people missing cues or poor reading comprehension, the books just Like That.

If the disability just vanishes the instant it gets in the way of the character being a badass/sexy love interest, that’s not disability rep, that’s disability fantasy/erasure.

And again, Yarros can write whatever escapist fantasy she wants about the disability we share. But at the very least it needed to be portrayed consistently, which is where Yarros really struggles. Consistency is not her strong point. Whether it’s characterization, representation of even sentence and dialect styles, it fluctuates too much.

She’s being failed by her editors on multiple levels. But that's nothing new for that House recently, unfortunately.

I was accepted to a paid video editing internship and a lot of the work is very reminiscent of what I used to do here. It makes me so happy to know that my silly little Tumblr blog gave me good practice :3 I hope everyone is doing well <3 Tell me what you're going to be for Halloween!

Love Billy! Now I have something to read while I wait. 👀

I needed my slasher fix so I started "Final Girl" by heylovely and ended up with a Double Shot of Billy Loomis. The unhingedness of this story kept me going amongst the.... well you'd have to read it.😉

MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE TAGS!
