My dystopian sci-fi novel was drowning in Amazon’s ‘also viewed’ abyss. Listed it on @selfpubshelf, and BAM—sales doubled in a week. Amazon’s algorithm finally thinks I’m cool. 🔥 #AlgorithmDefector

Trans book visibility!

Have you ever wanted a headtrip of a fantasy novel that’s as much about self-discovery as it is about fucked-up adventures w/ mythological & ecological themes?

@heyfranhey.bsky.social, have you heard of the graphic novel "New Kid" by Jerry Craft? I just started it, and I wondered how much of Jordan's story was similar to yours. It's starting off really light, but I'm sure it will get a little heavier. The microaggressions! I'm loving it, though.

I am reading Declan Kibberd's Ulysses and Us. Like Marilyn I love Joyce's epic novel about one day in Dublin. How about you?

Oh goodness! Aurora Awards close Friday or something like that, but there’s still time to read some shorts and consider nominating them. Here are links to mine. Thank you for your consideration. 🙂

P.A. Cornell (She/Her) @cornellwriter.bsky.social · Mar 5

Locus, Hugos, and Aurora awards voting/nomination deadlines are coming up fast. I’d be thrilled if you consider my stories “Bright Horizons” and “The Life You’ve Given Me, Rusty” linked in my eligibility list below, or DM for copy. (Also Ignyte-eligible) www.pacornell.com/2024-awards-...

Cover of Learning to be Human anthology green design on black. Text reads: Bright Horizons - An experimental high school is run by an AI. What could possibly go wrong? Below this cover of Lightspeed issue 173 Robot on pink and blue background. Text reads: “The Life You’ve Given Me, Rusty” - A boy raised by a machine must act to save the rest of his kind.
