"What Grows Back" by @aishatuado.bsky.social is one of the most important things you will read this year. And the Author Spotlight only adds to the experience and meaning of this piece www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/what...

7. The Great King's Lost Bride by R K Duncan in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social a swords and sorcery tale of Greek mercenaries in the Persian Empire www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/the-...

“We have made a technology that creates nothing but will ensure you have no future while we get richer and richer wait why are you boooing?”

I still remember my first experience reading this. So much pain and yearning and brilliance (and I dare you to not be brought to the crying door!). Another home run from @mruthrobinson.bsky.social !!

This week on LIGHTSPEED: "Ghost in the Tank" by M.R. Robinson www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/ghos...

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 In honor of it being June 1st, here are some recent queer reads I really enjoyed. On Sundays She Picked Flowers by Yah Yah Scholfield www.simonandschuster.com/books/On-Sun...

Soooo happy to share a TOC with so many wonderful queer writers and stories!! Thank you to editors @cypayseur.bsky.social and @bogiperson.bsky.social for selecting "How To Rob A Bullion Van", and @bafflingmag.bsky.social for the original publication ❤️

my fuck-AI @lightspeedmagazine.com story featuring a broken-spirited middleaged trans man, evaporated Lake Michigan, & reddit being the only social media to survive the US's fracture, is in this!

I reviewed Common Bonds 2, edited by Claudie Arseneault, Em Ishii, & RoAnna Sylver. It's an adult anthology focusing on aromantic stories. Don't just read it because it's Pride Month; read it because the stories are excellent. bookjockeyalex.com/2026/06/03/r...

National #Crime Reading Month and #Pride What better way to read queer and solve crimes than an outrageous dodgy medium and her long time woman "servant" (cough!) up against a wicked baronet who wants to murder his wife... It was for two milliseconds #9 in LGTB Crime. #books #reading #murder

Just a few more days until the release of issue 8. We provide all of our stories and poems for free, releasing them from the paywall on Free Fiction Fridays over several months, but we need more paying subscribers to keep the lights on. magazine.trollbreath.com/membership-a...

Writers, it's the time of year when 'Best Of's' and award noms are announced. There is a lot of great work being done, a lot falling through the cracks and going unrecognized. It's inevitable. It's validation enough that you created something and put it out there. Ignore the din and keep writing.

Keep an eye out for @trollbreathmag.bsky.social #8, coming June 1st! It will contain my piece Prayskin, a love story about the horrors of war and loss. Adamu is a proxy for a goddess, and it's in her terracotta skin that the people carve their prayers. magazine.trollbreath.com

Treat yourself to Aishatu's stunning words and preorder a copy of this chapbook. You won't regret it!

Please help get the word out that I am open for submissions. Thyme Travellers is an award winning anthology of Palestinian fantasy, science fiction and horror. My publisher and I are making it a series. Submissions are open for short stories, pro rate pay: soniasulaiman.com/thyme-travel...

We hit 90%, friends. Less than 300$ CND left to go. I really want to see those author’s notes. Palestinians very rarely get to talk about writer’s craft. It will be a gift in and of itself. Please help share to get us over the finish line: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

My ten favorite short speculative fiction stories from March were full of vengeance and fighting against unstoppable disasters. reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

It's always a good day when we get to experience @mruthrobinson.bsky.social's magical words!

Friends, could you help me share this Kickstarter? It’s doing well but I need to extend its reach: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

This kickstarter project is almost there! An anthology of Palestinian speculative fiction is exactly what the world needs right now.

What's that? A rare permanent academic job? Come join me in our School of Arts as a Lecturer in Theatre! "We especially welcome ... candidates with practical expertise in theatre technologies, digital media, intermediality or related areas of theatre practice." hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx...

Amidst the news of fractured attention spans and national book bannings, the book world can look pretty dire. But in this week's Mark As Read, @mollytempleton.com reminds us of the good news: there's always Dolly Parton. #booksky

Writers, we're caught up on the slush pile so we have a quick turnaround on submissions at the mo. We tend towards the dark and upsetting. Ambiguity and discomfiting sharp edges encouraged. Our vibe was recently described as 'transgressive genre grime'. If that's you, shoot it our way.

It's always a good time to back and boost this!

90 backers of this anthology of Palestinian fantasy, science fiction and horror! 💕 www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

Have you read the new Kaleidotrope?
