Hugo nominations close very soon! If you're still looking to fill your poetry and Astounding ballots, I'd be honored if you considered my work.

There are so many amazing alternatives to giving JKR money (watching a thing on a streaming platform counts, more views = more money) You can make new memories and leave HP behind, even if it used to mean a lot to you. Living people are more important than your memories. It'll be ok. I promise.

Hugo nominations close very soon! if you enjoyed "To Access Seven Obelisks, Press Enter" please consider nominating it for short story! if you haven't read it yet, can I interest you in some queer cyberpunk? 👀 🌆 www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/to-a...

If you're reading for Hugo noms, I'd love it if you'd read "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything"! It's a Nebula finalist, and Locus called it a "sharp satire". It's even got rage and catharsis and superhero puns. Read it at www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... or in the SFWA Nebulas packet!

Heartlines Spec's covers are always incredible, but this one is a standout!

I'm truly thrilled to have a poem in COMMON BONDS 2! If you love queer SFF, this is an anthology you won't want to miss.

The best part of the Poetry Nebula Award is that you can read the entire slate of nominees with only five minutes of your time. Poets are like late-night robbers, coming to beat your heart with emotions, and then fleeing before your nervous system alarms go off. Links below

the best thing about reading books is everything. some books are gonna make me think about all MY life choices. others are gonna make me think about the CHARACTERS' life choices. some are wild rides i gobble up in one sitting. others take longer and make me feel drunk on story when done. BOOKS!!!!

Did you know that nominating for awards is a thing YOU can do? It's easy! You don't have to have read everything. Or even a lot. If there's a piece you loved and think it's award-worthy, that's all you need to be able to nominate it (plus whatever membership that award requires ofc)
