TiF Press is all about building community and helping fiction writers find as many places to go to make new friends and share their work. Some of these communities listed below have their own team and newsletters that are managed quite frequently.

To start we have the community driven prompts for writers. These happen on a particular day of the week or based on a specific month on the calendar. Some are even daily or require collaboration with others.



Lunar Awards

Storyletter XPress Publishing

The Library

Recognizing and sharing the best fantasy and science fiction on Substack. Periodically posting essays, interviews and reviews.

A place where readers, writers, artists, and creators can coexist. Itโ€™s a community-driven initiative that breaks away from traditional publishing norms to return attention to writers and their stories.

A free resource for finding original literature.

Each and every Monday of the month you will be showered with the best horror/dark fiction content Substack has to offer from all kinds of terribly talented writers.


SUM FLUX – Sandolore Sykes

Sum Flux is an experiment in collective creativityโ€”a zine born from the convergence of diverse voices around shared prompts. Each theme is designed to evoke, provoke, and inspire, inviting writers to interpret it in their own distinct ways.


Fictionistas – Meg Oolders & J.E. Petersen

Fictionistas is a space for fiction writers to get to know each other. A place we can announce virtual meetups and discuss tips and tricks that worked for us. As we grow, we welcome ideas from all fiction writers on Substack on how we can best serve each other as a community.
