The reality for speculative fiction zines and publishers is pretty damn terrible right now. I know many of us are struggling to keep it together, and they are too.

Read this, mourn what we lost, and, as much as you can, support the zines and publishers you love.

Who'd like a promo code for a free audio copy of Assemble Artifact's latest issue, which includes my novelette That Slow Nightfall?
You can't read this story about a blind MC (and the hot guy who becomes her 'eyes' but is hiding a terrible secret) anywhere else!

“The best way to think of An Honour & A Privilege may be to regard it as a genre all its own… one which marks both an occasion and an invitation, one which offers us both a testimony as to what can be done together and a guide on how to do it." Dr. Graham Robert Scott #writing #collaboration

If you're a writer, I'd go so far as to say it's essential reading to develop your craft, to dig deep into your characters and their emotions (as well as your own), and to go eyeball-close with your line edits!

Z and I watched episode 1 of 'The Beast In Me' last night; Claire Danes plays a writer. "Can I have ANOTHER advance?" she asks her literary agent.
"Probably not," agent says, "because we're two years over your deadline."

We had to pause, we were laughing so hard 🤣 that's not how publishing works!

Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest.

It is the original form of protest.

To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.

Look at this crazy thing Lindz did - while also studying and writing a shitload of other books, too. Hardest working woman in the biz! 💪
I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers.
