I, too, have a story coming out in this collection. It's about a post-apocalyptic vegan hunting trip in the Arctic.

Image reading, "My story was accepted into the Disability In Dystopia Anthology coming May 2026 #CrippingDystopia". The instance of "Dystopia" in the anthology title is under a green mushroom cloud.

I'm pleased to announce that "Reduce, Reuse", also known as my "Hi I have Some Opinions about society's approach to Medical Assistance in Dying" story, is coming out in the Disability in Dystopia anthology in May of this year! #CrippingDystopia

Thank you! I hope you like this one too!

A kinda creepy green background with a scaloped edge like a stamp. inside the frame, it reads "My story was accepted into the Disability in Dystopia Anthology coming May 2026. or as I lik to call it 2 Artifice 2 Access. in the center, there is a stamp of a green mushroom cloud with a skull in the corner. a disability pride flag sticks out of the corner

A green and purple background with text that reads Anthology acceptance. the same stamp of a green mushroom cloud from the first slide is in the upper right corner. Underneath it says "you can look forward to short stories from the following authors! Shantell Powell, Alexis Ames, Ashley NY Sheesley Sally Sultzman, Morgan Greensmith, Gabriella Hassan, Noelle Falls, Casper E. Falls, Ellis Nye, Kara Siert, Julie March, Leigh Ann Cowan. Dysability in Dystopia Anthology coming 2026"

A kinda creepy green background with a scalped edge like a stamp. inside the stamp fram, it reads: My short story is about a a bunch of disabled rogues causing some good trouble in a dystopian society It’s got: A sassy narrator best friends to enemies annoyance as resistance my old nemesis . . . stairs and a whole lot of disabled rage

a mood board with a lot of blacks and electric blues. There are 9 grids. the top left, middle-middle, and bottom right have text that across the 3 reads "It's like a game of cat and mouse we like to play in which I am the mouse--clever, slippery, and destructive."the images are:top row: box 1 (text) box 2 dark server room lit with blue lights from the server towers. box 3 a black and white flight of metal stairs.middle row: box 1 a starless night sky with blue-ish light pollution. box 2 (text), box 3 a misty view of a bunch of sky scrapers as pictured from abovebottom row: box 1 yellow eyes of a cat stare out of the darkness. Box 2 glowing blue circuit board. Box 3 (text)

I can't believe I get to be in @ellatholmes.bsky.social second disability anthology! I've been TRYING to convince them to call it 2 ARTIFICE 2 ACCESS but I think I've been overruled 😔
Artifice & Access means so so much to me, and I am so excited to be in this one too

I’m putting a street team together for my queer small press debut coming out March 10! It’s A YA contemporary fantasy that’s kinda like if ERAGON took place in the modern day, but instead of a boy finding a dragon, a girl finds out she is a dragon.
