Happy Friday! In order to continue fighting on behalf of all books, all authors, & all readers Authors Against Book Bans is fundraising. No donation is too small & all are tax deductible!

I didn't see this, but my sister in law and I finally ordered some 🥹❤️

So much of a culture lives in its language and so many languages have been and are still being killed. The continued lack of rally on this or *any* pitches made by a single cis white man (tmk) are sending a message that is a very bad one. And maybe a true one. But we can change that.

Please keep in mind - English doesn't sound so sympathetic but this translation would: - Allow most of *Africa* to read the story, people who don't read Shona - Allow the writers to share with *us* - NOT force writers to write *in* the colonial languages. It's not the same; it's a different loom.

One Arm Shorter Than the Other by Gigi Ganguly I described this as "cozy pulp" earlier, and I stand by it. Connected short stories with all the gentle justice you might expect from @atthisarts.com, plus reminded me of a pulp anthology I'd recently read from @blaft.bsky.social.

Or if you're looking for a no-need-to-talk yet there-when-you-need-to-talk community, there is a Discord for my peeps and another for the press. Open to all. (Say hi or msg so we know you're human if want access to more rooms.) EmilyWorld: discord.gg/Mjbvkcp Atthis Arts: discord.gg/7wVMSmbZZn

I mean, if you don't follow the worst YouTube channel in the world yet, there are now 113 videos of me dorking around places going, hey, um hi, I'm here.

Wolf's Path is a good primer on what I write and like. :) www.atthisarts.com/product/wolf... #booksky #sff

#Booksky So here’s your reminder that you can buy books in Kindle format direct from our site and, if you use code WisCon26 (Nov only), you can save some $ and we’ll make a donation to a long running cool feminist sf convention! queenofswordspress.com

We are doing a second printing of the 2026 Ulla Thynell Calendar, but can't say if there will be a third - so if you were planning to get one, or buy for gifts, now is a great time!

Blaft latest releases and zines are back on the shelves at IDIOM BOOK SELLERS in Fort Kochi, Kerala!

Oh! I saw Wolf was writing a blurb, but I didn't know it was for *me*. This is awesome! 🙏🏻 (+😭)

What goes in must come out. #parenting #scifi #dystopia #food #writingcommunity #exparumbites

I can proudly say that the art in Faraway Dreaming and the calendar are gorgeous. 💖💖💖

Shopping for gifts? Don't forget we have both Ulla Thynell's Faraway Dreaming and their 2026 calendar available! 💜

okay so while @siennatristen.bsky.social is still getting oriented on bluesky, I'm going to take it upon myself to ✨shriek✨ about the fact that the HERETIC'S GUIDE audiobook Kickstarter is $400 from being funded. [INSERT SHRIEK HERE] come bring us over the finish line! LINK: tinyurl.com/cm2utrzz

I want to highlight how wonderful it was to be at the celebration of @strangehorizons.bsky.social 25 years. Bold storytelling *must* be supported. An honor to be in the room, and as an author! (Of the piece no wp read but yet stopped talking to me right after: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...)

You might, uh, commemorate this event by ordering the Rosalind Franklin memorial anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories for your local library. www.atthisarts.com/product/rosa...

Thrilled to share audience photos I was sent from the @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social "Fantasy Economy" panel. Thank you again to the panelists, and to attendees for packing the room on a Sunday when lesbians, horror, and Discworld were the competing topics! I'm so glad people enjoyed it. ❤️

It’s just a drop of blood. It’ll be fine. —— Ex Partum, coming out in June 2026 from @atthisarts.com #expartumbites #scifi #specfic #dystopia #writing

In the lead-up to #Novellavember, I am going to do some rec threads! I decided to dedicate day one to tiny presses, the true loves of my heart. I have yelled about all of these books before. I will yell about them again. You're welcome.

Happy Graphic Time for @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social! I decided to call mine "Emily loves you!" Because I do.
