Don't drop your stitches! Looped by @nadiaradovich.bsky.social sticks with you, even if you just want to reset. Coming to paid subscribers November 30th!

Props to Benjamin for sharing the details of his contract. Unfortunately no props to MRM because there's a lot of extremely outre stuff in here that I'd refuse to sign. Let's run it down. (Context: If you're negotiating a contract with Strange Horizons, I'm the person you're negotiating with.)

SO excited to be in Heartlines soon! 🥰

This Oct, as a breast cancer survivor in treatment since 2021, I'm doing a thread on stuff I wish I'd been told. I'll update as I go, but the first thing I'll share is every person's body & treatment is different. Some fear symptoms or side effects they might never get. Don't be afraid to fight 1/3

Richard Siken, speaking on poetry better than I ever could. His collection, Crush, was life-changing. (Read the whole interview on @adroitjournal.bsky.social: theadroitjournal.org/issue-forty-...)

Hey y’all, this short story collection came out today, and it is great! www.tarvolon.com/2025/07/14/s...

Thank you so much! We disabled the Live because it had that minute of the hosts peering at the camera and asking variants of "is this thing on?", so this is the permanent one that gets straight to the good stuff! youtu.be/CutdQgqel20

This is live now! Would highly recommend!

My usual magazine mini post is replaced this month by a dive into the 2017 Hugo longlist. But I still have the usual thread of favorites 🧵

Love Post Games? Share it with a friend!

HELLO I LOVE THIS THREAD

I can't wait to share my new book with you. Love Lethal, Death Divine is a dark fantasy love story. Coming in spring 2026.

My favorite creative nonfiction of the year. You know it's good when you laugh and also have tears in your eyes. <3

People in the replies trying to litigate this like "well maybe SOME sex scenes are okay if they aren't just there to make people horny" and I am here to say that I think it's fine if the purpose of a sex scene is to titillate, actually!

Could NOT agree more! This piece is so piercing and lovely. I wish I could read it again for the first time.

As a librarian I am begging you to not spread misinformation, even misinformation that you ideologically agree with <3 it's still misinformation!!

Five Things You Can See by Nadia Radovich @nadiaradovich.bsky.social "You saw her for the first time at your front door, like she wanted to sell you something or convert you..." Read the full story at the link to the latest issue in our bio!

Very pleased to share that my short story, "Five Things You Can See," is out in Strange Horizons today! strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

hear hear

As a completely neutral third party, I concur!

i wanted to collect links people are posting to good polygon-adjacent sites + ways to follow/support folks who've been laid off from there - almost certainly extremely incomplete but maybe it'll be helpful? haunts.neocities.org/polygon

I'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved. Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.

Just had my brain chemistry permanently and delightfully altered by "Hound, Hart, Crown, Queen," by @mruthrobinson.bsky.social. It is lonely and bitter and sapphic and very scared and, ultimately, very brave. Loved this to pieces. www.flametreepublishing.com/morgana-le-f...

Hello friends, I've been hit with an emergency bill, so I'm opening up a few slots for editorial services. I'll cover the details in thread but would appreciate any shares. I'm a Tessera Editorial alum, have several short fiction credits, and have helped several writers with their query materials.

If you wait until you're ready to start, you never will.

Y’all, Amazon is bad for writers, bad for publishers, bad for customers, bad for workers. bad for democracy. Would be wonderful if we could break its stranglehold.

Get ready to CRY <3
