For your general consideration....we published eight novellas this year. Three issues of Baffling. And a short story collection by Christopher Caldwell. (Plus we are sneaking out AT LEAST two more anthologies, an issue of Baffling, and a chapbook by Izzy Wasserstein before the end of the year.)

A thrilling first: an award eligibility post! I offer: "Carmilla, or, the Making of a Girl” in Baffling Magazine XX, July 2025, (Short Fiction, 1200 words, horror) - a teen girl is consumed by hunger as she sails across the ocean aboard the Demeter. Thanks! www.bafflingmag.com/issue-twenty...

Just discovered my story is on this list and wow, nothing compares to the feeling of having your work so thoroughly understood! Thank you @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social!

My story "Carmilla, or, the Making of a Girl" is out in Baffling Magazine and I am both thrilled and humbled! This is my very first story making its way into the world. You can read it here: www.bafflingmag.com/issue-twenty...

Going forward, the SLF wants to highlight those who made it to our final round of jury deliberations. Here is our shortlist for our 2024 Diverse Writers and Diverse Worlds Grants!

Thrilled to announce I'm now represented by @aiden-png.bsky.social at @ldlainc.bsky.social ! Their enthusiasm and vision for my subversive “Beauty & the Beast meets Dangerous Liaisons” novel is everything I hoped for. Can't wait to unleash my hideous Lorelei and her insatiable hunger onto the world
