Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

@ecwpress.bsky.social has put out some absolutely incredible work this year—I am privileged to be counted among such fine writers. To further illustrate how small a world CanLit is, I am a friend and former coworker of Sam's, copyedited Suzan's book, and hired Elliott to sub. edit my next MS. :P

I reckon it's about time we showed some love to all the book publishers and publishing people who fill our TBRs and introduce us to new authors 💙📚 Suggestions for this pack welcome! 🫶 #BookSky go.bsky.app/BAJ3bag

Reposting awards eligibility. I'm only putting forth my novella Countess from @ecwpress.bsky.social for your consideration this year. It is eligible for the Hugo, Nebula and Aurora awards and any award that consider SFF. An indie press book in a big 5 world 🙌🏽 suzanpalumbo.carrd.co#awardseligib...

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was: 1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one 2 preorders: we need to stock this book 3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out 4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

I made a zine! It's dedicated to Palestinian folklore and folk religion. This first issue is the folktale 'The Promise Kept' which comes from Gaza. It's available for your own set price, or free if you like! soniasulaiman.itch.io/paranormal-p...

Hey if you're in Canada I recommend keeping this doc handy. I always share this in my newsletter but since it gets updated daily & I've barely been managing to send a newsletter out once a month lately I'm also sharing it here. Scripts, talking points, news, in-person events, etc.

Happy Year's Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume One Publication Day to all who celebrate…which I hope will be all of you! Kobo: www.kobo.com/ebook/year-s...

Ooh I should use the other nice graphic @ecwpress.bsky.social sent me for the cover release This one makes it much clearer that MOUNTAIN is a sequel to CLOUDS! ecwpress.com/products/we-...

"The Grimmer" by Naben Ruthnum (from @ecwpress.bsky.social) is a young adult supernatural thriller out September 26. It follows a heavy metal-obsessed brown kid in a small, white town who gets pulled into occult shenanigans. Stranger Things vibes, a creepy bookstore, math magic, the undead!

Man, editing @premeemohamed.com is so easy. It’ll be like, Me: “This scene needs a thing. Could you add a thing here?” Premee: *adds the best written, most insightful thing I’ve read in months* “Like this?” Me: “… yes, like this.”

#pc804 Anniversary Special! Fixer, Worker, Singer by @nassos.bsky.social, narrated by a full cast. Including an interview with @jenralbert.bsky.social! Rated PG-13 podcastle.org/2023/09/12/p...

Crossposting I'm still seeing people asking what #SearchTheLandfill is about so I'm going to post some articles all in one place to help folks get caught up. Please spread the word, especially if you are not from Canada.

Hey, folks, Flame Tree Publishing is looking for African ghost stories, sweet spot 2,000-4,000 words paying SFWA rates Deadline: Aug 27 https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-gothic/african-ghost-submissions-0

Honestly, I am so disinterested in any kind of AI output, you wouldn't believe. There is more human made content in existence than I could ever watch or play or read.. And I don't know why I should spend MY precious time with things nobody loved or believed in enough to spend their own on.

Congratulations to all the World Fantasy nominees! (Still working on finding many of you on here 😂) Reading through this list has made my night. So many of last year’s favourites are there! https://locusmag.com/2023/07/2023-world-fantasy-awards-finalists/
