I’m super excited to have my novella Bright Phaedra coming out in August 2026 with @thinkinginkpress.bsky.social

thank you so much Hillary and team 🌸💖

So Nebula noms close tomorrow? The day after? I didn’t make an eligibility post because lolol, what are spoons, but I did write a story with a queer throuple, a (big) fish, the sea off the Coromandel Coast, and a whole lotta body horror messiness plus yearning in @fantasymagazine.bsky.social

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

Heads up for SFWA members filling out the Nebula nomination form:

It is possible to 'save and continue later' BUT if you do this, be sure to ALSO do the step (on the next page) of emailing yourself the link to your partial ballot.

Otherwise you'll have no way to get back to it!

I often see posts saying name an author who you've read 5 books by.

I'm interested in short stories. So how about, name an author you've read 3 short stories by?

Also, the stories have to be published in the last 10 years.

Also, don't say me. 😂
