Me gifting like

and to you, the broody morally grey side character of the story, I gift all the coolest lines, nice hair, and being so so sexy

ICYMI: I published one story this year that's eligible for awards. "The Terrarium" appeared @uncannymagazine.bsky.social, and explores the power of queer stories in a world that can seem to have no space for them. jordantaylorwrites.com/2025/12/05/a...

I published 1 story that's eligible for awards this year: "The Terrarium" appeared in August's Issue 65 of @uncannymagazine.bsky.social, and uses a moment between my characters to explore the power of stories and relationships. Plus, I got to use footnotes! www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

This whole thread is gold jerry

This is what integrity looks like. "Do it for all of us, or don't do it at all." Let's hope the folks who bought our legacy magazines are shamed into better behavior and we won't have to consider them scoundrels any longer.

The winners of the 2025 World Fantasy Awards have been announced—congratulations to all! reactormag.com/here-are-the...

One of the best works of American art this century, no I'm not kidding.

WE'RE LIVE! AND WE ARE SO EXCITED! Back now to support a new magazine of speculative fiction by 2SLGBTQIA+ authors and artists! Snag some amazing rewards, including discounted subscriptions! Support queer art! And help us SMASH DAY ONE! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

How many "realized" uses is too many in one novel? More than one a chapter? More than one every couple of chapters? 50 times is for sure too many, right? Definitely asking for a friend.

Loved this one so much

👏👏👏 This whole thread "If your art was worthless, they wouldn’t be asking for it."

I know so many more words when I'm not actively writing

"Freddie can stop time, but he struggles to hold onto his love in a world that doesn’t have space for it." In my latest blog post, read a little more about the background of my new story out in Uncanny Magazine this week! jordantaylorwrites.com/2025/08/06/n...

I have a new story out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social this week! "The Terrarium" started as poignant moment between the 2 characters in a longer (gay, Georgian-Era, fae-filled) piece I'm working on, & turned into a meta exploration of stories & relationships www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

🎉🎉🎉

I'm offering a manuscript critique, and a hangout where we can chat about the ins and outs of subbing SFF short fiction, as backer rewards for Uncanny's campaign. Now is the time to donate if you haven't, and help support another year of this awesome magazine!!

Some people just seem to want to eliminate all potential sources of discomfort, no matter how small or innocuous, from their lives. Fiction allows you to model experiencing big emotions in a safe controlled setting, and I just don't think any good comes of avoiding that to this degree

Scott at BCS is an incredible editor - his comments are always spot-on, even if short!

Congratulations to all the World Fantasy Awards finalists!

This is the greatest cover ever made. I'm obsessed. 😍

New Myths released an audio book of their "best of" anthology, Passages, which contains my story "Common Magick"! This is an older anthology and an old story of mine, but it sounds like they put a lot of work into the audio. Listen for my demon-conjuring chambermaid! www.amazon.com/Passages-Bes...

Author Spotlight! E. Catherine Tobler @ecatherine.com returns (this time with Arthuriana)! Her short fiction and poetry has appeared in Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, Lightspeed, Nightmare, and others. A multiple-award finalist, she currently edits @thedeadlands.com.

This week I have read 2 awesome new short stories about faeries (from @aimeeogdenwrites.com and @mckatie.bsky.social) and bought an exciting new book about faeries (H G Parry's A Far Better Thing) and I just want to say I am so here for this comeback. 💖🔥

Tumultuous times to say the least; nearly missed this news. Congrats to all the Locus Award winners!
