So thrilled to be invited to speak at Wholehearted Writers Week! You'll finally learn how I keep my chaos demons in check. Just kidding! You'll learn the EXACT opposite, and I can't wait 😈

guys, if this one goes belly-up i don’t think i can do this again. please subscribe to my newsletter if you want to stay in touch. (i’m not flouncing, just reading the temperature in alarm.)

Okay so we've had trans rights but what about TRANS WRONGS??? Murder! Blood magic! Kissing! Monsters!

Lovely seeing my coastal vampire novel ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT appear with other fine horrors on BookRiot's "15 Queer Books on My Halloween Month TBR" 🫀 bookriot.com/queer-books-...

Great list as usual, and so thrilled to see my brilliant co-editor, @katemcintyre.bsky.social included!

ICYMI I finally dove back into my newsletter, in which I talk about my novella's birthday, @psychopomp.com awesomeness, and some most excellent short fiction recommendations.

OMG, this post. So many beloved favorites in here, and many also new-to-me that I'm lining up to read and fall in love with. SH has meant the world to me, and I'm so glad they're still here, making our SFF community richer, more inclusive, better, and weirder every year.

Stop trying to make Tilly Norwood happen. OOooooOOO a fake actress WOOOOWWWW. This is the blandest fucking most boring thing ever. AND offensive. Real life women are earth shakingly fascinating, beautiful, smart and funny. I get it. The world hates women and wants them subjugated. BUT I DON'T.

BREAKING: The director of the presidential library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, said he was suddenly told to resign or be fired. He refused to give the Trump administration a historic sword from the museum’s collection.

A poisoner and bartender stare at each other over the rims of their respective cups: A novella.

Strange Horizons turns 25 this year, which is pretty much an eternity in the world of spec fic zines, and I had the privilege of going through the archives for a special short fiction roundup: 2 x 25 Gems from Strange Horizons’ Archives strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

Today marks two weeks since the official release of Audition For The Fox & I have to pinch myself, constantly, at how wonderful of a launch it's been. Thank you so much to the readers, booksellers, librarians, reviewers, and more who have shown so much love to this tricksy tale of foxes and fate <3

"Manusos’ talent for building an atmospheric world around the reader—trapping them brick by brick like an authorial Cask of Amontillado—is on full display here." Don't believe my praise? Then check out From These Dark Abodes for yourself! Fantastic gothic horror from @lmanusos.bsky.social

New interview with C.L. Clark at the WOW newsletter today. I fell in love with their writing through a short story analysis on the Writing Excuses podcast. I was thrilled when C.L. agreed to do this interview - & was blown away with all the great craft advice! Thanks @clclark.bsky.social!

kind mention of @mizukiyamagen.bsky.social 's new hex story "The Hand's Aperture" in Myna's latest flash roundup (thanks @mynachang.bsky.social ) !

The epigraph page for TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS This book expresses through stories a lot of what I don't know how to say otherwise, but I'm grateful to Cynthia Pelayo and Ally Malinenko for letting it begin with a few words of their own 🖤

omg, ECO24 got a starred Publisher's Weekly review! "23 stellar tales" 🌿✨🥲✨🌿 High-five to all the authors who make this collection so wonderful! And an extra high-five to @jenniferhudak.bsky.social and @louisevans.bsky.social, whose stories are highlighted in this review as standouts 👀🫶

I learned SAD GROWNUPS was removed from consideration for Kansas Notable Books (along w other books the deciders worried might endanger future federal funding). This isn't a bitter post. More sad that libraries feel compelled to make choices like these in these censor-y times.

Yeah, we quiet over here, but we love y'all. These publishing streets are rough these days. October marks Black Speculative Fiction Month, and we're thrilled to drop TWO issues on you in the coming weeks. Updates soon come. Anyway support some Black creators: go.bsky.app/VSHmC2p Follow, share, BUY 🔥

a reminder that erasing queerness from public life is a mandate of Project 2025, framing us all as sex offenders. so for those who call ppl who offer full throated defense of trans ppl "single issue voters" or "purity test" voters, let this be your reminder that this is where that argument leads us

Saw the thread where someone says at a given point you should just stop writing stories cause no one will read them, leave people hungry for more etc etc and 1) fuck that and 2) and I’m going to go scream into the void now.
