Okay let's do something trans, autistic and FUN, because I need it... and you might need it too 😮 Give me a page number and I give you a quote from my upcoming book SONG OF SPORES! My e-ARC has pages from 3 to 202. (Preorders here: www.brokeneyebooks.com/store/c62/So... )

To everyone sharing this or saying nice things about it: Thank You! I don't care how big an author gets, Word of Mouth will always be the realest, bestest marketing joy. I poured spirits & ancestors into every page. I hope everyone falls in love with Amnandi Khumalo!

BABES, I HEARD YOU LIKE QUEER SFF MYSTERY NOVELLAS FROM TINY PRESSES.

I want it to be easy to build and repair my own hardware. I want things (phones, computers, cars, lawnmowers) not to be designed to be hostile to self-repair. And I want it to be normative to keep and repair and upgrade things for decades, because they aren't designed to become quickly obsolete.

for the new or unfamiliar, the majority of my work is a creative collaboration between myself and @moonsheen.bsky.social called LITTLE FOOLERY. Since 2009 we've been doing original stories together across a wide range of genres, and many of them free to read. Please enjoy. littlefoolery.com

The story submission portal is open for writers of color. Our first readers are looking forward to seeing them. Please read the guidelines! translunartravelerslounge.com/submissions/

A bunch of stories we really loved, a bunch of stories we'd love to see more of, and a Lot of stories in which a bad adult gets turned into (metaphorical or literal) bacon: it's time for DWJ's short fiction of the 70s and 80s! zencastr.com/z/1eIt9L0F

just absolutely furious with @alixeharrow.bsky.social for being such a goddamn genius "the contradictory heart of what prose does, which is to waste the reader’s time as efficiently and sexily as possible...a reader gives you their time, and you tell them, word by word, how to spend it." y E s

The sale has so many bangers. Some books I've loved: -Circe by Madeline Miller -Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S. A. Chakraborty -How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu -Network Effect by Martha Wells -Water Outlaws by SL Huang -Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djeli Clark

If you're like me and yearn for more Fantasy to look through the eyes of healers, you have to try Witchmark. A doctor who'll stop at nothing to help the veterans of a miserable war! Conspiracy! Sweet queerness!

Spooky season is around the corner. Can I interest you in some ghosts and demons and assorted paranormal urban delights in oh-so-tiny novella form?

NDN Girls Book Club is so powerful, they distribute truckloads of books to tribal communities, they have merch, they have workshops, they are also authors & poets & do queen shit in their own right individually. Best book club tbh

If you're an avid reader who loves monthly subcriptions, you can get all my books in Kobo Plus (alongside many other indies!). We love a subscription service that doesn't ask exclusivity from its authors ~ www.kobo.com/ca/en/plus

Your book might not sell right now. Not because it’s bad. But because timing, trend, and list-building matter more than most authors realize. Don’t bury your belief in your story just because the market isn’t ready yet.

I should also say that I enjoy ergodic literature and every time I post about it, someone goes "THERE IS A TERM FOR THIS??" so maybe that's you! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergodic...

Honestly, I spend most of most books assuming that I don't quite understand what's going on. I accept the events that have been presented until they are contradicted or explained, and although I form mental models of what's Really Happening, I try not to accept them as "true" in the story's world.

If you're afraid of making art because you don't think your execution will live up to the idea: 1. No one's execution is identical with the idea 2. You will develop your voice by doing 3. There is pleasure in recognizing each artist's signature imperfections So you may as well make art anyway. 💚

I have a new flash story in Lightspeed! "On an Unusual Kind of Spatially Distributed Haunting" Somewhere in the borderlands between folk horror and hard SF... Hard fantasy??? #Hauntology something. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/on-a... @lightspeedmagazine.com

apparently Instagram is no longer friendly to viewing without an account, so i'll be mirroring the prize posts in a thread here for people outside IG who want to participate (you DO still need a Venmo account to pay for tickets, sorry - that's what's available to us). prizes to follow! 🖤🍉🖤

i read this in draft form during like, the worst time of my life mental health and it made me believe i could keep living in the world/made me WANT to, made me think it could be worth it, so you know, take that as you will

I picked this up the last time i saw it on my feed and it's is 100% worth the read. I really enjoyed it. My only complaint is that there isn't as sequel. #Booksky 💙📚 🪐📚 #Books

Is good book

My 2022 review: www.nerds-feather.com/2022/12/micr...

I got to read this in its larval form and I really do recommend it

In case I haven't said it enough recently, I HAVE WRITTEN BOOKS, AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM! The Map and the Territory is an apocalyptic picaresque about finding hope not in Saving the World but in choosing to live in it together--even when it's broken--and making it incrementally better. 🌱

I INSIST everyone read this, it's one of my dearest faves! Ridiculously beautiful.

Taking some time off social media; will not return until I've hit some writing targets. Take care, all. 🌱

Seems like a good reason to return to social media. Happy to share my article in NYT books featuring some of my favorite fantasy authors, including works by Alaya Dawn Johnson, Rebecca Roanhorse, John Wiswell and more. #fantasybooks

Girl, I am losing my mind

So many writers outside of SFF have influenced me. Rushdie taught me what a strong narrative voice can do; Dostoevsky, Sterne, Melville, and Hugo made me love meanders and digressions; Carson and Kimmerer taught me how powerful it could be to describe the world plainly and beautifully.

I have just learned to live with the computer madness

Oh hey, my sapphic pirate stories will be published by @qospress.bsky.social ! 🌈⛵🏳️‍🌈

This is the last day for the Murderbot + Witch King and my other fantasy Humble Book Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/martha... We've raised $89,000 in donations for World Central Kitchen so far!

Baby's first trilogy finally together. 😊

I'm a new illustrator looking for fantasy work. Commissions are open too. Take a look! soniasulaiman.carrd.co

Yeah, yeah, staying off in order to write, but in my 'posts for new followers about what I write' I forgot the big announcement of the new book, Breath and Bone, a sword and sorcery coming next spring from Candlemark & Gleam. www.candlemarkandgleam.com/2025/08/25/a... #sword&sorcery #fantasy

Went on an amble down to Canalside with my wife; saw many good boats. Apparently one of them was a fire department boat! Which makes sense as a thing that would need to exist, but also, I have never contemplated the existence of fire engine boats before.

Quick friendly reminder that Bluesky is entirely fucking public and you should post accordingly! Heads on straight, gang!

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

Look at our gal--so freshhh! The majesty, the jewellery, the braids. The authority, the defiance, the gaze. The casual step-on-me energy. Esheme hive, rise--this is our time!

Review: MAD SISTERS OF ESI by Tashan Mehta Washington Post: I have been exhorting all my friends to read this breathtakingly gorgeous book, but it is nearly impossible to summarize. Two sisters, Myung and Laleh, live inside the whale of babel, which swims through space and contains an entire…

The Little World Next Door

The poetry in Strange Horizons has been sharp, pointed, and necessary of late--I strongly recommend reading all of their offerings.
