Cheryl Morgan reviews Vonda N. McIntyre's Curve of the World, which Aqueduct Press will be releasing on May 15. "It would have been great if Vonda had been able to live to see praise being heaped upon the book, but praise it we shall anyway." www.salonfutura.net/2026/03/the-...

Launching at Eastercon, we are bringing back Jo Hall's award-nominated novel, The Summer Goddess. wizardstowerpress.co...

Eastercon is almost upon us. We hope to see some of you there.

Here is the tl;dr of the Eastercon schedule

Hey hey! It's the 2026 World SF bundle! 15 books for $30! storybundle.com/scifi get it before it's gone! Reposts appreciated! Some great stuff in here, if I say so myself. 😀

It started with one woman signing our letter Then another And another And before we knew it there were 95,000 of us Now we want the power of cis women to catapult us to 100,000 and beyond Because this is how it grows If every woman shares it with just three others, that’s another 285,000 signatures

Eastercon Update! I have a fourth panel assignment. This one will also feature the very wonderful Karen Lord and Emma Newman (and Catherine Sharp who I think it wonderful even though she doesn't write books). I have updated my blog post: www.cheryl-morgan.co...

I am still fighting the unjust disablement of my Instagram account @silvanhistorian. In the meantime I have created another to keep in touch with everyone still on the gram (most of trad publishing it seems). If you are there too, you can find me at my new username: lucyhollandauthor.

Silvia Federici is one hundred percent wrong about the witch trials (not even a weak argument: her work is based on utter fantasy) and Caliban and the Witch has done incalculable damage to the discourse around this topic, especially in left-wing circles.

I have spent the afternoon packing cardboard boxes. So many books! Good job that @rozc.bsky.social & @hierath77.bsky.social have a car too.

Looking forward to a few targeted excommunications

A heist on the high seas! The consequences of reckless heroism. Also talking penguins. The Sky Slayer is coming, launching at #EasterCon2026 Pre-order from all good bookshops wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/book...

On the day we leap into the future, it feels like the right time to invite you to an evening with Ken MacLeod @amendlocke.bsky.social, an author who has spent the last 30 years sharing is visions of the future. #writingcommunity #author Free online this Wed: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1984677623...

Eastercon is going to be busy. We are having a book launch, and we will be in the Dealers' Room.

Pob lwc pawb!

People who say there are no politics in their stories absolutely have politics in their stories. They tend just to be the politics of maintaining the status quo.

Today, NION Women are in London, marching in the Together Against the Far Right march as part of the Women Against the Far Right bloc. We’re here representing the 95,000+ cis women who have already signed our letter to say, clearly - Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community.

I’m catching up on today’s Super Rugby. Saw a tackle that involved a swinging arm to the head. The tackled player went off for an HIA. Wasn’t even a penalty. Would have been a yellow card in the Prem or URC. Referring consistency matters, and head injuries are serious.

I am a citizen of Iceland and let me assure you that we are not terrified of the future because of “authoritarian gender ideology”. What scares us is transphobes, ultra right wing ideologies, the manosphere, fascism, MAGA, oligarchs, techno fascists, ecological collapse and climate change.

Coming in April, book #2 in Joel Cornah's epic Sword-Breaker trilogy: The Sky-Slayer. There will be more pirates, more dinosaurs, and lots more penguins. Per-order at: wizardstowerpress.co...

PSA: I do not automatically follow back here. If I spot you doing that thing where you repeatedly follow, unfollow and follow again then I will eventually block you.

Those of you who are eligible to vote in this year's Hugo Awards, please note that you have just one day left before nominations close. If you are short of ideas for works in the Best Series category, we'd like to remind you that Juliet McKenna's Green Man series is eligible.

NEW: A newsletter from the Board of the American Medical Association states the group has requested a public correction after the paper characterized a statement about trans youth care as having "endorsed restrictions" on such care. h/t @lyolyon.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Plaid Cymru vs Reform. Solutions vs Soundbites. Hope vs Chaos. This election is a choice of two very different futures. Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May for new leadership and to stop Reform. ✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We will be launching Peadar Ó Guilín's new novel, The Sword Garden, in April. In honour of that, we'd like to remind you that our Irish friends are bidding to hold Worldcon again in 2029. Peadar would be very happy to have a Worldcon in the city where he lives. So would we. https://dublin2029.ie/

Please appreciate and share small creators' work. Artists, actors, singers, comedians, writers, and everyone in between. Repost and share. Comment on their stuff and send them a message. It goes such a long way!

I am running London2Brighton 100km and raising money to support Step Forward - a youth centre in Tower Hamlets supporting queer, trans, and gender non-conforming youth - so important at a time when these vulnerable youth are under attack from almost everywhere! If you can, please donate and share!

Coming this April, a fantastic new novel from Peadar Ó Guilín. Never trust the dead, you have no idea what they might be planning. "magnificent and original” — Adrian Tchaikovsky Pre-order links here: wizardstowerpress.co...

Guardian Australia fighting the good fight here. The UK edition is fully supportive of the ban. But this is not about trans women. In the decades in which we were eligible, only one has ever qualified for the Olympics, and I believe she placed last in her sport.

All going well for Reform in Scotland.

I'm delighted to share this contest that I've been working on, and for which I'll be a judge! We're looking for stories about positive futures and how to get there.

We are pleased to see that Juliet McKenna's new epic fantasy, The Riven Kingdom, from Angry Robot is included in the Barnes & Noble pre-order sale. American readers please take note. www.barnesandnoble.c...

Someone spreading misinformation on the internet to influence the US presidential election? Who would ever have thought of that? Lyda Morehouse did, 25 years ago. The first book in the AngeLINK series is Archangel Protocol. wizardstowerpress.co...

I suspect that I might not need to buy a membership this year… But you should because @trip.bsky.social is fabulous.
