Just backed Neon Hemlock's amazing new anthology! A copy of the paperback + ebook is only $22 FYI ... get on it!

Thank you for reviewing False Equivalencies! I'm so excited you chose it to review and enjoyed it. And what a great challenge to read 1 story per day all year 🦾

We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest. We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.

Snow days are so powerful. I drafted a 6,000 word short story yesterday and wrote it today. ✒️❄️✒️

www.32auctions.com/publishingfo... They've raised 95.5% of their goal, and there's still time to bid.

Crazy how you'll sit down and try to think of a story and feel like you never ever will, and then you make a random list of concepts such as"Beowulf weregilds" and "7-dimensional weaving," and then you suddenly think of a story that has nothing to do with any of that at all.

Running out of time for people to apply for this! If you're a fanfiction author who's wanted to start publishing your original work, we'd love to see your application! for the curious, we've received new-to-press apps: 43 published-with-us-before apps: 20

I'm so charmed by this new anthology - Tales from Space Bar. It reminds me of overheard conversations in The Crossings in @diane.dianeduane.com's Young Wizards series😁 www.spacebarpittsburgh.com/tales-from-s...

I HAVE FINISHED MY FINAL MANUSCRIPT DRAFT 🥳🤸🙏🎈

What an incredible new initiative!!! This will be so helpful.

Every novel in the past five years has the same ending: all the characters turn out to be aspects of the same person, who is in turn a sliver of the subconsciousness of a cosmic mollusk. ENOUGH. Not every novel needs the gestalt cosmic mollusk ending. I'm sick of the obligatory dreamslimetrail.

Our 10-year-old journal of creative writing on environmental justice will reopen to submissions, including poetry, creative nonfiction, art, short stories AND novella-length fiction, on February 1st.

Counterweight is the book that got me into translated SFF last year - what a great discussion by Nat Harrington!

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN, BABY Lilac Peril Issue 02: IDOLS Send work to [email protected] until February 7 Expected pub: late 2026

Are you a fanfiction author? Have you been wanting to break into publishing your original fiction? We're looking for contributors to BEYOND THE GALACTIC TIDE, our next anthology. What's it about? TL:DR... ACE IN SPACE! For the long version, visit our website: duckprintspress.com/beyond-the-g... 🌈📚

Kind of crazy that I can just sit down at my desk with a pot of tea, tell my brain to think of a story, agonize for 30 mins while I look over everything I've ever written, check social media, decide to work on something else, agonize some more, and then a story miraculously appears in my brain. 🤷

🚨 Applications for the PSLA Emerging Writers Scholarship are now open! 🚨 We'll only be accepting the first 125 applications, so get yours in as soon as possible. Here's how: form.jotform.com/202746305642...

At my exclusive writing retreat (aka on the train). 5 submissions/pitches to work on. Let's do this.🚅✒️🚅✒️🚅

REMINDER to send your 2025 original publications of queer speculative short stories (science fiction, fantasy, horror, anything odd and unusual) to We're Here 2025 for consideration - I am the guest editor this year, with the always awesome @cypayseur.bsky.social!! www.neonhemlock.com/were-here

I think you should get weirder and freakier about their writing next year. Expel the thoughts of "is this too much? too strange? too out there?" fuck it, we ball. Break the ancient seal cast upon ye. Unleash the inner esoteric thing within clawing, begging to wreak creative havoc.

Short fiction submissions for the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast open up tomorrow! (Or already, if you're on the other side of the International Date Line.) Here's hoping you all make it very difficult for me to pick just four stories to publish! mail.alpennia.com/lhmp/essays/...

Graphics for my publication stats 2025 vs. 2024! This year I wrote to submission prompts, shifted genres to primarily sci-fi, doubled my submissions, and increased simultaneous submissions. And most importantly of all, I wrote things I loved.

We'll be reading stories for ✨ What Elegant Stars: Queer Tales of Impossible Style ✨ from January 15th to April 15th. Give us stories of satellites and sewists, terminals and tailors, dandies and dying stars. <6k words. 8¢/word. simsub ☑️. multiple submissions 🚫. www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

SO SO SO thrilled to announce I'll be included in Lonely Cryptid Media's anthology "Trans/Port: Trans Speculative Fiction for a Queer Future"! This collection is just going to be so joyful and fun. 💫 lonelycryptidmedia.com/trans-port-t...

This looks amazing!

Today I read "Obsolescence" by @rosemaxwell.bsky.social, and I can't recommend it enough. It's a thoughtful, melancholy, complicated story about an obsolete war robot and the man who finds it. afterthestormmagazine.com/2025/01/19/o...

IT'S OUT FOR DELIVERY, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Absolutely dying to read it when it finally releases in the US 😭

8 days until I get my hands on the special edition of Thrice Married to a Salted Fish vol. 1. 🐟🎆🎊 Is it at times the only thing keeping me going? Yes.

Wow, these women are doing incredible work.

It's that time of year again... to re-listen to Perilous Times by @thomasdlee.bsky.social ⚔️I need a dash of Arthurian hijinks with my dystopia.

So excited to read this new series, especially having come up against serious barriers to finding SFF in translation this year!

Someone needs to tell Paul Hollywood that his exaggerated dislike of matcha and tofu isn't cute.

I cannot wait for this!!!!!

I love how The Great British Sewing Bee gets so much queerer every year. It does the heart good.
