Congrats!! It was a terrific event. Nothing more inspiring than the sound of twenty some writers typing intently on their keyboards. So many unique stories & novels being written!! ✍️✍️✍️ Thanks, @edinburghsff.com!

Have had a ridiculously productive day at the @edinburghsff.com write-in today - maybe some sort of magic writing dust in the air! And I think I've hit the midway of new folk horror WIP, which makes it feel officially like a real book...it's about to get weirder👀🖤

So. We need to fill our feed out a little. Tell us who we should be following for the good genre and genre adjacent stuff. Authors, reviewers, commentators, all the good people. Fun, serious, wry, excitable - bring them all.

The BFS is very pleased to support the Best Audiobook: Science Fiction & Fantasy category at the inaugural British Audio Awards the ceremony for which takes place on 24th November. To mark the event, Long Story Short presents our very first Podcast Special. britishfantasysociety.org/blog/bfs-pod...

Really excited for this! If you’re in the Glasgow area come and hear us!

We are delighted to reveal the cover for First Mage on The Moon by @cameronjohnston.bsky.social! Ella is on a mission to reach the moon–even if that incurs a little blasphemy (and Unity interference). Look for it April 14, 2026 from @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social! reactormag.com/cover-reveal...

Vinay reviews Nicholas Binge's time travelling police procedural EXTREMITY, out now from Tor: "searingly unputdownable and is easily in the running for best novella of the year" Read more: tinyurl.com/325v3hzp

Funny story - this novella is actually how Nick and I met. He asked if anyone in @edinburghsff.com knew anything about 'gun stuff' because he had several scenes that included weapons. I've got a bit of weapons handling experience from my time in the OTC and know how to research these things, so...

Heads up! Rather exciting writing retreat for our friends at @cymerafestival.co.uk www.cymerafestival.co.uk/writing-retr...

Yay! The Shape of Monsters has been shortlisted for a Speakie (audio book award) 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Definitely helps that voice actor Omari Douglas is fantastic www.thebookseller.com/british-audi...

What a weekend! We’re over the moon for the winning ESFF writers at @bloodyscotland.bsky.social - @davegoodman.bsky.social, Debut Prize for A Reluctant Spy, @tariqashkanani.bsky.social the McIlvanney Prize for The Midnight King, & @marcorinaldi.bsky.social winning Pitch Perfect for Dark Waters 🎉

I'm lucky enough to be one of Nick's crit partners so I read this *as it was gushing out* and let me tell you I am yet to fully recover. If you're a fan of existential horror, you want to get this on your TBR, stat.

This looks like fab event - if you're in Edinburgh, head to Toppings Sept 26 and listen to @annabelcwrites.bsky.social, @gen-dimova.bsky.social and V. L. Bovalino chat about writing epic fantasy with female leads: www.toppingbooks.co.uk/events/edinb...

From his book launch event last night the wonderful @justinleeanderson.com deftly avoids any spoilers…

What’s not to love 🖤

You have NO IDEA how hard it has been keeping quiet about this. So friends, AT LAST, THE NEXT BOOK IS ANNOUNCED! (I'm usually a bit nervy about new stuff but feel like this one is A BANGER.) reactormag.com/book-announc...
