Ya tengo en mis manos el último número de «Salvage», la revista que edita China Miéville en UK. Muy agradecida por haber elegido mi relato «The arrendatario» y por la traducción de Mónica Louzon - @molowrites.bsky.social

My cousin needs gender-affirming care but the costs are prohibitive here in the US. If you're able to, please consider donating so they can finally get the top surgery they need. (PS: Even if you can't donate, spreading the word is super helpful, too!) www.gofundme.com/f/fe5uh-tayl...

Really not enjoying how my migraines are worsening with age. Striking while I'm asleep (and thus unable to prevent them in time with medicine) is sheer evil.

Every once in awhile, I think of my favorite “…the fuck did you just say?” phraseology, which is from Homer’s Iliad, proving we have never, ever changed as a species, only less fancily inclined. “What nonsense has escaped the barrier of your teeth now?”

My translation of Susana's story "The Arrendatario", which is about a housekeeper who rents out her body to rich people in order to have more quality time with her daughter, is now out in Salvage Magazine!!! (Originally published in Spanish in @elyunquedehefesto.bsky.social) #SFinTranslation

It's a GREAT time to buy our July-Dec 2024 collection: because it includes an amazing bonus essay by @bogiperson.bsky.social (as well as all the others essays from the journal over those months). The ebook is just AUD10 thanks to our winter sale: www.speculativeinsight.com/buy-collections

Esta realidad se calla o se romantiza, porque el esfuerzo es muy bonito. Pero lo cierto es que es una triste radiografía que explica por qué vamos de camino al monopolio de los grandes grupos: no puede trabajarse dos veces para comer media. Y es lo que a muches editores les pasa

Eso por no hablar de las que son parte de un proyecto subvencionado y si el dinero se acaba antes de que arranquen, cierran. O de las que son directamente asociaciones sin ánimo de lucro, casi un acto de voluntariado por la literatura

La mayoría de editoriales independientes hoy día son unipersonales y funcionan porque su fundador es alguien de posibles/funcionario que invierte en este negocio o alguien que tiene otro trabajo para comer. Luego nos sorprende que cierren, pero no debería. Hemos normalizado la precariedadad

Augur Press submissions for novellas & novelettes open tomorrow. 🫡 Stay tuned !!!
