Amazing turnout for today’s launch of OFF THE MAP! Thank you to all of our contributors who read their work and to everyone who showed up to share their support. #BookLaunch #OffTheMap #YVR #VancouverWriters #WritingCommunity #Writers #Anthology #Books

Off the Map launch is today at 1 pm! See you there!

For #yvr and #booksky folk, readings from the Vancouver writers of Off the Map today at 1!

I talked to Seema Shah, one of the editors of Off the Map: Vancouver Writers with Lived Experience of Mental Health Issues, about the collection and more. Here's the audio: thecommentary.ca/ontheline/23...

#booksky Off the Map, an anthology of Vancouver writers with lived experience of mental health issues, is out on shelves, and if you’re in #yvr, today would be a great day to stop by @crossandcrowsbooks.bsky.social to get it! (You should probably also get Martyr! while there. It’s very good.)

“…[the anthology] reminds the reader: that, buried under the weight of the grey, is hunger and light in each of us…you will find a satisfying and eye-opening foray into others’ truths that will nurture your humanity.” My latest @theseaboardreview.ca #MentalHealth @bellpressbooks.bsky.social

Book launch and reading for OFF THE MAP is June 7 at the VPL Central Branch. Full detail here! #yvr #booklaunch vpl.bibliocommons.com/events/68094...

My first physical contributor copy! The excellent 'Stasis' anthology by the excellent @bellpressbooks.bsky.social, with my story in which a ‘retirement’ counsellor takes on a job at a mining compound near titular 'Coketown, Mars', which changes his view of human and non-human drones–and his life

Though my only contribution was some editing, I do want to yell on behalf of the writers about STASIS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF RETROFUTURISMS!

A waitress, her lover, and a retro diner take off from Roswell, New Mexico. A storyteller uses poetry as a tool for colonial resistance. Just a few of the stories you’ll find in STASIS, an anthology or retrofuturisms! Available now: #smallpress #scifireads bellpressbooks.com/product/stas...
