Sign up now for Altered Instinct Issue One

The chaos over at Twitter has convinced me to step away from there. For many reasons - not least of all that I used to be a union leader and I can't stand to see workers being mistreated. 

But out of chaos, something new can emerge. Something I've been meaning to do for a long time now. Altered Instinct is making a change - take a look right here:  

It will be a newsletter. It will be a zine. It will be available direct to your email inbox. And maybe other places too, we'll see how this adventure goes. 

Altered Instinct will include reviews, interviews, stories - and more. And I'm reaching out to guest writers too. More on those as things develop. 

You can sign up for Altered Instinct here or on the form at the bottom of this page. 

So, where else can you find me? Well, as I say, I'm stepping away from Twitter. There may be the occasional cross-post there but that's about it, so I won't link there. 

Apart from that, there is: 

Mastodon here.

Counter Social here.

Facebook here.

Goodreads here. 

Instagram here. 

Tumblr here.

Or email leomcbrideauthor@gmail.com.

I also have a YouTube channel with some readings of stories. Check out my reading of The Secret War right here: 

I hope you'll join me for my new adventure!

Altered Instinct now on Twitter - why the new account?

By Stephen Hunt

A short post today just to mention that Altered Instinct is now on Twitter too. We've gone with a really, super-complicated Twitter address. It's @alteredinstinct. Shocker, I know.

Now, a lot of you keep up with us through tweets from our friends over at Inklings Press - so why another Twitter address? Well, there's things that Altered Instinct puts up that have nothing to do with the good folks at Inklings - such as our regular podcast reviews - and there's things that Inklings does that might not be why you're following Altered Instinct. So it seemed a plan to have a separate Twitter account so things didn't seem out of place. 

I'm also planning some new things here at Altered Instinct, such as interviews with podcasters, that again might not quite fit to mention via Inklings Press. 

In addition, my personal Twitter, @chippychatty, deals a lot with my regular daily work as a journalist - so having a separate Twitter in which I can more comfortably let people know about my writing work has been something I've been thinking about for a while. It sometimes feels wrong to be telling people about my writing alongside the more serious subjects in the news of the day, so... Altered Instinct Twitter it is. 

If you're a regular follower, swing by and say hi - and nag me to come follow you. Throw me some links to your own writing too, would love to read and share. And if you're a podcaster, tell me about your show - I'm always on the look out for new shows to review. 

See you in the Twitterverse!
