@csffa.bsky.social Aurora nominations have been announced! www.csffa.ca/awards-infor...

On Spec published some great stuff recently. They ended their 35-year run on a high note. They deserve Hugo recognition. I'll flag "The Superposition of Ramen" by @jedlooker.bsky.social, which was in the October 2025 issue. [Read it because @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social recommended it.]

My first sale! “The Superposition of Ramen” is featured in the current issue of OnSpec magazine. @onspecmag.bsky.social

Congrats winners of the 2025 #Aurora Awards! #SFF 🇨🇦 www.csffa.ca/2025/08/2025...

Just been updating the **FREE** resources section on my website. Hopefully lots of useful stuff here on everything from body language to collective nouns, sensory inspiration to proverbs & sayings. PLUS lots of lists of example stories including a list of lists... www.mattkendrick.co.uk/resources

Look forward to the 2025 @offtopicpublishing.bsky.social #Writing #Conference! Great line-up of 🇨🇦 authors 🤓

Had loads of fun on this project getting behind-the-scenes access to #airport systems. Next we pilot with an #airline in #Canada.

Finally read Annual Migration of Clouds by @premeemohamed.com. Beautifully crafted prose and a story that embedded itself under my skin. Look forward to more.

Excited to work in the community on this new project.

1. Every once in a while I’ll read about or be told about or see nominated for an award a novel that, when I read it for myself, I don’t understand what the fuss is about; it’s something I don’t find particularly interesting or worthy of the praise. And when that happens, do you know what I do?

This past year I've had the honour of working with these wonderful humans on a project that is close to my heart. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

✨ I have started a broad #CanSpec starter pack! This isn’t JUST writers, authors, editors… It’s also stores, booksellers, community organizers. ANYONE in CanSpec (Canlit + Specfic) ! Reply for an add ✨ It’s very much only a rough beginning right now ! go.bsky.app/Q7MUTiT

Thanks @canconsffh.bsky.social! Idea submitted to your website 🚀

This thought has been rattling around my head after submitting my stories to several markets this past week: what about a micro competition at @canconsffh.bsky.social with maybe the shortlist showcased during the event? Or there’s a workshop and at the end folks submit? 🤓
