Thanks for putting this together every year, A.C.! Always a great way to catch up with what everyone's been up to over the past year. Here's mine 🙏 liu-angela.com/award-eligib...

I have said this before in various contexts, and often include it when I teach classes & workshops: Submission Grinder is one of the best tools for writers out there. If you run a spec fic/fantasy (etc) mag make sure they know about you. thegrinder.diabolicalplots.com

I'm so proud to have a story in "Amplitudes," thanks to Lee. "Fettle & Sunder" is very personal, and to have @arleysorg.bsky.social describe it as "timely" and "timeless" in his @lightspeedmagazine.com review makes me even prouder! Now's the time to grab the book and find out why!

Contract signed! So happy one of my favorite stories finally found a home! “Magical Girl Eater,” inspired by the growing commodification of nostalgia + fandom (and of course all my favorite magical girl series from the 90s/00s 🌙), will be in a future issue of @uncannymagazine.bsky.social!

My short story The Doglady and the Rainstorm, published at Bright Green Futures is again free to download! 🐶🌧️ If you're looking for a solarpunk set in a near-future Rio de Janeiro where sea levels rose drastically OR if you just want cute dogs, then that's the one! www.amazon.com/Doglady-Rain...

Got my first non-blurb review for my novelette SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL from Emma’s Books and More over on Instagram. Thrilled people are enjoying this book! 🚀 Pre-order: www.starsandsabers.com/books/shoesh...

I have a new flash story out today! “How To Set Up Your Mourning Robot” is now free to read in @lightspeedmagazine.com! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/how-...

Contract signed, so I can officially say my story “In the Void Behind My Deaths” is going to be published at @factorfourmagazine.com ! It’s about what happens between death and rebirth, and what that means for the universe as a whole.

It's time to help Apex funding their issues for 2026! In this dire times of exploitative AI tools and art having to "prove" its relevance to the public, it's almost an act of defiance to see a SFF magazine thriving. So let's help this happen! They have several stretch goals going on too.

“On that day, I was hired to be a father.” Just read “The Patron” by @thomasha.bsky.social in @morningtransport.bsky.social and oh god, I haven’t been that caught off guard by a story in a while. Absolute masterclass in tension and the unsettling. www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/the-patron
