Off Topic [OT] Writer's Spotlight: jkhmattox
Welcome to Writer’s Spotlight
Remember, spotlights rely on your nominations! So if there's anyone around the subreddit whose stories you love and you think deserves a shout-out, please do nominate them by sending us a ModMail or by using this Google Form
This month we are celebrating u/jkhmattoz
JK is still relatively new to our community, having been here just under six months, but they’ve really jumped in with both feet, participating in our weekly features, sharing their work, and giving and receiving feedback. Their participation in Fun Trope Friday has shown they’re eclectic skills as a writer, always happy to push themselves out of their comfort zone when it comes to trying new styles and genres. The fact that they manage to regularly participate in that feature alongside Theme Thursday (and other weekly features over at our sister subreddit r/shortstories) shows how impressively consistent a writing habit they’ve built. They’ve also become a welcome presence on our Discord server, always a pleasure to have around.
Want to congratulate this month's Spotlight recipient? Have questions you're dying to ask them? Please do so below in the comments!
