I'm SUPER EXCITED to have a new flash story forthcoming in UFO 10! I love these funny collections and they are well worth pre-ordering via the Kickstarter!!

I am a proud past contributor to this lovely anthology and I assure you that you do, in fact, want to reserve a copy. What's more, the physical copy smells of warm hugs and is guaranteed to keep away all sleep paralysis demons of Tier 3 or lower.

UNIDENTIFIED FUNNY OBJECTS is back. Reserve your copy today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ufo...

An article about Ukrainian SF/F writers who are on the front lines, written by Henry Lion Oldie, translated by Borys Sydiuk has been published at Amazing Stories. Check it out! amazingstories.com/2025/09/ukra...

MAYA is live on Kickstarter. I am a small part of the team that worked on this. www.kickstarter.com/projects/741...

This is my go-to excuse from now on.

A reminder that the UFO10 Kickstarter will launch later this month! Please click to be notified at launch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ufo...

Rome, reimagined. From sketch to detail 🏛️

The current boilerplate at Analog & Asimov's is not something I could sign as-is, either. I love working w/the editorial teams at these magazines, but can't see sending any more stories their way if the contracts are not improved.

It's finally September! Do you know what that means??? Flights of Foundry is THIS MONTH. Register: flights-of-foundry.o... Let's gooooo! 🪽🪽🪽

UFO10 Kickstarter campaign will launch in September. Please click here to be notified when it's live. Everyone can use a good laugh (and a good read) these days. We aim to provide that! #humor #anthology #Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/ufo...

Everyone wants to be a part of the @reclusionofficial.bsky.social anthology! Or, at least, can be persuaded to say so in writing.

Pleased to tell you that my short story on the theme of... *squints at notes* app-based dating (huh!) and street violence (ah okay), "The Shank of the Evening", will appear in the tenth volume of the anthology series Unidentified Funny Objects, @alexshvartsman.bsky.social, ed! More info in Sept!

#WorldCon starts tomorrow in Seattle! Be sure to catch the presentations by our friend @alexshvartsman.bsky.social - wish we could be there, but GO ALEX!

And here's my obligatory #Worldcon2025 schedule:

A little more about @reclusionofficial.bsky.social and the FREE HARDCOVER COLLECTOR'S EDITION of our anthology you can ONLY get at Wordlcon OMG! (You can get a free ebook by joining our mailing list, though!) alexshvartsman.com/2025/08/13/i...

Big news coming… guess where we’re headed this week? 👀 #Worldcon2025

What is Reclusion? A hand-crafted deck builder where fate meets choice. Step into Toni's story, where every card is drawn by hand, and every decision could change everything⏳

Submissions for the next volume in the UNIDENTIFIED FUNNY OBJECTS anthology series will open in December. 12 cents per word. alexshvartsman.com/ufo-unidenti...

The multimedia project I had a small part in has been announced on IGN. Check out the awesome trailer, voiced by Hugo Weaving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywuP...

For those who enjoy listening to words, Serpent Carriers, translated by @alexshvartsman.bsky.social and beautifully narrated by Kate Baker, is now available on all the podcast platforms you can think of and on @clarkesworldmagazine.com official site: clarkesworldmagazine.com/audio_07_25c/.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine many publishers expressed support and potential interest in working with Ukrainian authors and artists. Very few actually stepped up. I know because I helped translate numerous pitches and connect folks. 1/x

just finished the INCREDIBLE novelette by @k-a-teryna.bsky.social (translated by @alexshvartsman.bsky.social) in @clarkesworldmagazine.com Ternya's ability to turn a phrase is captured well by Shvartsman's translation here with "Serpent Carriers" which is a WILD RIDE!!!

THE MIDDLING AFFLICTION releases in Bulgarian translation next month! I don't envy any translator the task to bring all shades of meaning of the title to another language. In Bulgarian, the title will be THE HALF-MAGE EPIDEMIC.

See @alexshvartsman.bsky.social & colleagues at #WorldCon in Seattle next month! seattlein2025.org/program-and-... New Speculative Fiction From Eastern EuropeNon-Western Literature; Streaming; Virtual Room 443-444, Thu. noon–1 p.m. Alexandra Nica (M), Alex Shvartsman, Julie Nováková

Help! I'm running out of ways to procrastinate and am in serious danger of doing some actual writing.

My novelette Serpent Carriers translated by Alex Shvartsman is live at @clarkesworldmagazine.com! Huge thanks to @alexshvartsman.bsky.social and Neil Clarke— this publication means a lot to me. clarkesworldmagazine.com/teryna_07_25/

"Serpent Carriers" by @k-a-teryna.bsky.social is live at Clarkesworld today! This absolutely brilliant long novelette is perhaps the most complex translation I've had to perform to date, but it is well worth it! I can't wait for everyone to read this story. clarkesworldmagazine.com/teryna_07_25/

SPACE TRUCKER JESS launches today! When Jess's daddy goes missing from prison, she goes on an odyssey across the galaxy to find him. Along the way she encounters alien gods, missing planets, and secrets that will change humanity's path forever. Available at all major bookstores.

It's a media BLITZ! (but actually just two interviews and a book signing in a suit) If Wishes Were Retail is out! It's loose! Look for it! aahabershaw.com/2025/06/18/l...

If you're near Stroudsburg PA, join me at this author event on Saturday!

We're almost done with the lovely and mysterious Life in the Future by Alex Shvartsman @alexshvartsman.bsky.social! Check it out today or read in full tomorrow! Your humble editor apologizes (or should I say apologises?) for not posting on Sunday. He was moving countries...

My story "Life in the Future" will be serialized in The Daily Tomorrow starting, well, tomorrow (Sunday, June 1). Do you want it to arrive in your inbox for free? Be sure to sign up today! dailytomorrow.substack.com

I remain astounded that some people think that co-writing with (or being assisted by) one of the worst "writers" I've encountered is actually going to make their story better. Ditch the "AI" and write it yourself. And if you can't manage that, at least stop sending them to me.

AFTERTASTE by Daria R Lavelle is the best English language novel I've read this year-to-date. Almost certainly going to make my Hugo Award nomination list next year. It's KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL meets GHOST with an extra-large side order of emotional punch. amzn.to/43CwKp3

Delighted to see that @seattlein2025.org Hugo packet includes audiobook versions for some of the nominated works! This is enormously helpful. Thank you.

I will try to sell books to anyone @balticon.bsky.social (Photo by @alexshvartsman.bsky.social)

If anyone happens to be in Ocean City, NJ, you might be able to get yourself a few signed copies of Clarkesworld or the most recent volume of Best Science Fiction of the Year. There are two of these libraries on the boardwalk. One central and the other close to the marker for The Sindia.

Seen elsewhere: Every day for the next ten days is going tho be the same backwards: 5/20/25 5/21/25 5/22/25 5/23/25 5/24/25 5/25/25 5/26/25 5/27/25 5/28/25 5/29/25

Come hang out with me at Balticon this weekend!

Congratulations to @kyliu99.bsky.social whose "Good Stories" won the inaugural Art of the Near Future award! The story originally appeared in The Digital Aesthete anthology and can be read for free at future-sf.com. spheresofpossibility.substack.com/p/art-near-f...
