Thanks Katharine. I'm super excited to have you in the anthology, and to start sharing some of our authors' work at the zoom reading!

We're seeking first line readers for Triangulation: Dark Hearts. Let me know if you'd like to join the team!

Unfortunately due to lower book sales, the coming uncertainty in the US and budget issues, I am reluctantly putting the "Mmeory" open call for spring of 2025 on hold for now. I'll update everyone in a few months with any news. Apologies for those working on submissions already.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

I'm doing this! Parsec meeting Nov 16.

So far, we’ve received a number of fantasy and horror pieces for Dark Hearts. We want science fiction, too! We love anything speculative, but right now sci-fi is a less competitive genre.

This is your reminder that writing is a political action.

I woke up to a bunch of submissions in my inbox this morning. I can't wait to dig in 🥰
