I read Pandora's Formula by Hannah Yang in Strange Horizons, in which the release of a world-ending formula interrupts a honeymoon. nightofthehats.blogspot.com/2025/10/i-re...

"The rich are buying bunkers," Christian Ruhl and @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social write. As the threat of global catastrophe — especially the risk of another devastating pandemic — grows, the world’s wealthiest people are preparing for the worst: wapo.st/4iXhTei

I am in awe of this story. How it made me so uncomfortable, and so seen at the same time. How it doesn't offer any easy answers and yet still feels so complete. So, so good.

Still thinking about this incredibly kind message a reader left me on my website contact form 🥹 If you love a short story, let the author know - you’ll probably make their day 💛

This is such a beautiful but grim tale that will stay with you. "Everything in the Garden is Lovely" by @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social in @apexmag apex-magazine.com/short-fictio... #amreading

“Everything in the Garden is Lovely” by @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social has a stunner of an opening line and builds into a beautiful and sobering tale of society’s valuation of womanhood apex-magazine.com/short-fictio...

Hey, did you know that if you read a book by me -- or by any author! -- that you liked and you leave a good review online somewhere, you will be visited by the Good Review Fairy, who will give you clearer skin, pleasant dreams, and also a gently murmuring mummified hand? It's probably lucky!

"Now that I’ve failed as a woman, my punishment is to become a garden." This short story SHOOK me. I came out the other side not sure if I found peace or was terrified. I highly suggest you take a few minutes and read it. 📚👀

God this was a good read. Exquisite body horror and a layered exploration of the concept of "fertility".

awards season! ppl are voting; lists getting announced, & folks are shouting out what they did for my writers out there feeling like it's all A LOT - if you don't land on a list? even if you don't have things to shout about? it doesn't mean you aren't "a writer" you. are. Fantastic! keep going!

Publication day!! Thrilled that my short story “Everything in the Garden Is Lovely,” about a woman sentenced to transform into a garden, is out today in Apex 😊 You can read it for free here: apex-magazine.com/short-fictio...

Delighted to find out today that my short story “Bird-Girl Builds a Machine” is on the Locus Recommended Reading list, especially alongside so many brilliant writers! 🥹🙏

I just read the delightful "How to Make a Man Love You" by @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social: a dark little sf "love" story that flows smoothly like blood and honey.

My awards eligibility post is very short this year. I only published one story in 2023 - “Bird-Girl Builds a Machine,” in the November issue of Clarkesworld. It's a story that's very special to me. If you’re nominating for awards, I’d be honored if you considered it! 🥹💛

Got some very exciting book-shaped things in the mail! I’m thrilled that two of my stories were selected for Year’s Best anthologies this year 🥹 Honored to see my words in print next to so many amazing writers.

It was such an honor to spend this weekend at the Space Economy Camp for Writers! I loved learning about how to use radical economic theories for sci-fi worldbuilding. Huge shoutout in particular to @maryrobinette.bsky.social and @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social 🙏🎉

Check out “Bird Girl Builds a Machine,” by @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social. It’s about a girl, her mom, and a mysterious machine they build. A clever tale, deftly written, and a haunting reflection on mothers, daughters, and the price women pay.

Apex Magazine issue 141 is available now! If you were going to read one issue of Apex to really figure out what we are, this is the one I'd recommend. It's weird and dark and the perfect blend of sci-fi and horror. The stories stick with you and demand attention. apex-magazine.com/back-issues/...

!!! @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social's "Bird-Girl Builds a Machine" made me 🤯😭🥺🤯! if you love a good mindfuck, here it is

This piece is elegantly constructed, not a single detail wasted. Beautiful and vulnerable and moving.

Super excited that my first Clarkesworld publication is out in the world today!! This one’s a short sci-fi story about a girl whose mother is obsessed with building a strange machine and won’t tell her why 👀

One of the things I think folks don’t understand is just how the vast majority of SFF magazines are run on an utter shoestring.

Some writers to keep your eyes peeled for and add to your reading list 👀🔥 @angelaliu.bsky.social Tehnuka @elianeboey.bsky.social @pqwrites.bsky.social @zachrosewriter.bsky.social @marisca.bsky.social @hannahyangwrites.bsky.social Naomi Eselojoro

*waves* Hi friends, professional writer person here. Even for mid-list, mid-career authors, things are pretty bad right now. A lot of my colleagues are looking for day jobs & cutting back/quitting creative writing. Soooooo…I present: 3 free things you can do to help writer whose work you like.

Got a really exciting email this week: my SF story “Bird-Girl Builds a Machine” is going to be published in Clarkesworld Magazine!! I’ve collected a lot of form rejections from Clarkesworld over the years so this was a wonderful surprise 🥹

I’m new to this app so here’s a quick reintroduction - I’m Hannah, I’m from Seattle, and I write sci-fi, fantasy, and horror! When I’m not writing, I like watercolor painting and rock climbing 😊 Fellow writers on Bluesky, please say hi!! 👋
