Happy to see my horror short story LANDLINE on the @locusmag.bsky.social Recommended Readling list. It's been scaring the heck out of readers reactormag.com/landline-kel...

Oh neat, Locus Magazine's Recommended Reading List has my story in Asimov's recommended "In the Halls of the Makeshift King." Was not expecting! Honored!

Also I didn't look at this on my telefone while I was in bed but I am up and making breakfast now so: eyyyyy thank you @locusmag.bsky.social for including ONE MESSAGE REMAINS in best collection on the recommended reading list! :) locusmag.com/2026/02/2025...

Congrats to @rblemberg.bsky.social for the wonderful story ‘Other Wars Elsewhere’ being on the Locus recommended list! The anthology it’s from – We Will Rise Again, edited by @older.bsky.social , @annaleen.bsky.social , and me – is also on the list.

✨ We are delighted to welcome ten writers to this year’s 2026 Novel Writing Workshop. These writers will be working to complete a novel draft under the guidance of novelist and teacher Dr. Karen Lord (CW instructor ‘18 & ‘23) ✨

oh hey I had not realized that THE POTENCY OF UNGOVERNABLE IMPULSES is on the BSFA longlist!! Thank you to everyone who supported it! www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

I just read this story in We Will Rise Again and was moved to tears.

First review in @strangehorizons.bsky.social ! This time my FULL review (as opposed to my lil blurb) of WE WILL RISE AGAIN edited by @older.bsky.social @drkarenlord.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

We Will Rise Again edited by Karen Lord, Annalee Newitz, and Malka Older reviewed by Alex Kingsley Link ⬇️ strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

So appreciate this incredible, thoughtful review: "a thought-provoking, polyphonic collage which manages to engage authentically with nuanced issues while also leaving the reader feeling optimistic and empowered." strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

El mes que viene es mi cumpleaños, alguien quiere regalarme We Will Rise Again?? Es un regalo ideal para celebrar los 40 años, después de un año de medicación y terapia contra la depresión, eh? 🔥🔥🔥 WE WILL RISE AGAIN, INDEED 🤘

Second review of the week is the first for @strangehorizons.bsky.social by @alexyquest.bsky.social. We Will Rise Again is "a thought-provoking, polyphonic collage which manages to engage authentically with nuanced issues, leaving the reader feeling optimistic and empowered." On "visionary fiction":

I have a story in this as well: "The Vanishing at Neltjeberg." Not my first TOC with the great @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social, but certainly going to be one for the ages. This will be a tough one. We lost a radiant VI voice before this could come out. I'm so looking forward to reading her story.

This also influenced my story in WE WILL RISE AGAIN: the main character's organization builds a software tool they hope will force people to LOOK AT, to SEE the inequalities of the world. There are complications. www.simonandschuster.com/books/We-Wil...

This was great … though my ISP had an outage 45min before start time, which is why I ended up Zooming in from my car, parked in my cousin’s yard borrowing her WiFi! 😅

I checked out “We Will Rise Again” from the library. After 40 pages I think I’m going to buy a copy for the personal library. Thank you @drkarenlord.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @older.bsky.social

Posted today, a review by Ruth Joffre I got to edit on @drkarenlord.bsky.social, @annaleen.bsky.social, and @older.bsky.social's important new collection of sff stories and essays on protest and resistance, WE WILL RISE AGAIN:

There's a story about this in the anthology We Will Rise Again. It's "Chupacabra" by @vidajames.bsky.social.

sneaking in with one last pub before the new year: a review of the anthology We Will Rise Again, in which I talk about the ups and downs of organizing, some incredible stories, and why we need real visionaries. shoutout to editors @drkarenlord.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @older.bsky.social

"The writers in 'We Will Rise Again' offer readers a glimpse of not just how things are but also how they could be." @ruthjoffre.bsky.social digs into a new anthology: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/fantastical-transcendence-and-the-magic-of-resistance/

We will rise again is bonkers amazing. Three of my favourite people in SFF collaborating on editing an anthology of awesome progressive stories. And they knocked it out of the park.

I received these, and now I have both the audio and physical versions of We Will Rise Again, which is great because I love it. My husband was bummed I’d already read it (“What?? It just came out like 2 weeks ago!”), but that means he picked something exactly right!

This is such an amazing review from @ruthjoffre.bsky.social at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social! "The stories in We Will Rise Again offer readers a glimpse of not just how things are now but also how they could be. They present worlds where we solve problems collectively..."
