Leaving Chengdu shortly and heading to Tokyo for a very narrow connection window. Maybe I'll get home today. Maybe not. Stay tuned.

Just won a Galaxy Award

Heading to China for Galaxycon in Chengdu. First leg of trip is a 14 hour flight to Tokyo. Boarding in 30 minutes.

Very glad to hear that people have been enjoying my newest story at Clarkesworld! It’s available now for free - although if you can subscribe, you’d be helping a great team there continue to do great work. clarkesworldmagazine.com/hall_09_25/

At long last my flight from Newark NJ to Frankfurt is in the air. Connection from their to Bulgaria and then a ride to Bulgacon. Empty seat next to me, so I might try to sleep.

Another issue of great stories and my first non-fic appearance. An interview w/the awesome @arleysorg.bsky.social (next to @mcflycahill90.bsky.social hey)! Some thoughts on weird horror. Some thoughts on Uncertain Sons. Some thoughts on short fic and other miscellany. Thanks for the inclusion!

I'll be heading to Bulgaria next month to be a guest at this year's Bulgacon in Pazardzhik. Should be fun. I've never been there before and look forward to meeting local SF fans and writers.

Only $371 to go. Can we make this happen today?

Congratulations to Chisom! You can read his story here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/umeh_12_24/

SUBLIMATION is a novel set in a universe where crossing the border means splitting yourself in two. Literally. If you've ever imagined what could have been if you never left, this is a novel for you. Preorder link below. Available everywhere books are sold. torpublishinggroup.com/sublimation/...

Now that I'm home and have managed a full night's sleep: A big thank you to the staff and volunteers at @seattlein2025.org as well as everyone I saw there. I'm bearing all the marks of a great convention: voice shot, mentally energized, and physically exhausted.

Another Hugo Award has successfully passed through the airport after a thorough inspection.

Last night, I won the Hugo Award for Best Editor Short Form. Thanks again to everyone that voted for me!

Just dropped a bunch of buttons on the freebie table at @seattlein2025.org Special Seattle Worldcon Clarkesworld pins, no AI pins, and short fiction is not dead hypnochicken.

On our way to @seattlein2025.org. Reading slush to pass the time.

I spent several hours this week trying to find more science fiction art for our covers. The amount of generated slop I've had to wade through is ridiculous. It just keeps getting worse.

@lisaclarke.net and I saw @guster.bsky.social and @themountaingoats.bsky.social at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park last night. Great show! Arrived early enough to end up in the front. Don't think I've ever seen someone happier on stage than John Darnielle. Both groups on stage for this picture.

The August 2025 issue of Clarkesworld is now online and features stories by Marissa Lingen, L Chan, R.T. Ester, Ai Jiang, Bella Han, Raahem Alvi, Ryan Cole, Uchechukwu Nwaka. clarkesworldmagazine.com/issue_227 Subscriptions keep us going: clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

Morning fun. The fountain in the pool we've set up to entertain the local wildlife died. Replaced it yesterday and it's attracting more attention than the old one. This is a Cooper's Hawk.

Banner day for hate mail. I don't reply, but: Yes, I read your story. No, I'm not changing my position on "AI" submissions. Yes, I use quotes around "AI" to show a lack of respect. No, I really don't care who your father is, how much money you make, how many copies of your book your mom bought...

Do you have an idea for a panel, talk, workshop, or other piece of programming you might want to bring to LAcon V? Submit your program ideas to us right now! We love unique ideas for programming, and we'd love to hear your pitch for our convention in 2026: lacon.org/programming/programitem

“When Mark told you he was marrying your clone, you said ‘congratulations’” @tiatashiro.bsky.social always writes the best openings and her new story in @clarkesworldmagazine.com is no exception. Really love what she did here with the second person POV. clarkesworldmagazine.com/tashiro_07_25/

I'm looking at the news stories about the FDA's drug approval "AI" and keep seeing reporters using the industry MARKETING term "hallucination" instead of saying that it's faulty, doesn't work, and provides inaccurate information a human would have been fired for. Stop pulling punches.

Had a great time @readercon.org over the weekend. Was a bit weird being back at the site of my heart attack (and where Clarkesworld was born) after so much time, but I'm glad I went. Need to make plans for the Clarkesworld 20th anniversary that will happen there next year.

Hugo Awards voting closes TOMORROW! Make sure your ballot is in before the deadline: Wednesday, July 23 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. There’s still time to weigh in on the best of science fiction and fantasy—don’t miss your chance! seattlein2025.org/wsfs/hugo-aw... #HugoAwards #SeattleWorldcon2025

Someone just offered to license our entire back catalog of issues for "AI" training. No way in hell. Not gonna happen. No means no. Don't come back. Don't even look this way. Seriously. We don't want you here.

So apparently, if I don't keep encouraging people to subscribe to Clarkesworld, they don't. clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/ All new subscriptions go towards increasing staff pay. They deserve it, so I can't be silent.

A story that starts with “When Mark told you he was marrying your clone…” has to be great, and it was. “Missing Helen” by @tiatashiro.bsky.social in @clarkesworldmagazine.com clarkesworldmagazine.com/tashiro_07_25/

I saved the life of one my little chipmunk friends this morning. He was being hunted by a bobcat outside my front door. Ran outside in my pjs, screaming as it was about to pounce. This is our first bobcat sighting. @lisaclarke.net got this picture of it. There's also some video on the trail cam.

Nineteen years ago this week, an unexpected conversation at Readercon led to the creation of Clarkesworld. The day before, I had no interest in working in publishing. As hard as it is sometimes, I can't imagine not doing it now. Oh and please subscribe if you can clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

Today I'm writing for Writer Beware at Planetside, SFWA's online magazine, with a look at moral rights--what they are, why they matter, and the implications of giving them up, as some contracts and agreements require you to do www.sfwa.org/2025/07/03/m...

New words in this month's Clarkesworld! Check out "Missing Helen," a story featuring clones, identity, and a number of poor romantic decisions :) clarkesworldmagazine.com/tashiro_07_25/

"Serpent Carriers" by @k-a-teryna.bsky.social is live at Clarkesworld today! This absolutely brilliant long novelette is perhaps the most complex translation I've had to perform to date, but it is well worth it! I can't wait for everyone to read this story. clarkesworldmagazine.com/teryna_07_25/

We accepted seventeen stories today. Cleared out all the stories in the second round of consideration. Nothing in the first round has been there more than 24 hours. Good way to end the first half of the year.

This is Tiny Tina. She was part of my Locus Award acceptance video. (I hate being on camera.) One of the other local animals (Hoover the Chipmunk) was part of the Clarkesworld acceptance video. I paid them both for their time in seeds. They received a bonus when it aired.

Weird night to celebrate, but "Why Don't We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas" Hole just won a Locus Award. Super honored, normal amounts of surprised. Thank you again to everyone who voted for me, and to @clarkesworldmagazine.com for publishing it (and congrats on your wins!) :>

Gasp! I just won the Locus Award for Best Editor. Thanks to everyone that voted for me. As I don't like being in front of the camera, my acceptance video featured Tiny Tina the squirrel with my voiceover.

Hello everyone it seems like the news is out. "Negative Scholarship" is a finalist in the 2025 Eugie Award! Congrats to fellow finalists @carolinemyoachim.bsky.social @maryrobinettekowal.com @goosemixtapes.bsky.social @tammykomoff.bsky.social !! And thank you to @clarkesworldmagazine.com !!
