ECO24: THE YEAR'S BEST SPECULATIVE ECOFICTION ed. by Marissa van Uden held up before a viburnum lush with autumn foliage.

Timely and transcendent. I've had a marvelous time recently with ECO24, collecting some of the finest ecofiction of the last year. A chance to reflect on the anxieties of a changing world, and to consider possibilities for transformation and alternative paths. A critical collection for our time!!

Go read this ASAP! It’s so so so beautiful and heartfelt and ambitious 💫 It’s one of those stories you’ll keep thinking about for days after finishing!

Love Story in Colored Glass - Uncharted “This,” her father says, the stone a matte black promise in his hand, “is how your ship will travel.” With a bravura flick, he throws it out onto the lake, but all she can focus on is the spike of ten...

Story day!! I’m so delighted to debut in @unchartedmag.bsky.social with ‘Love Story in Colored Glass:’ an inter-dimensional love story about a starship that breaks reality - and a pair of lovers who find themselves, again and again, across the fracture.

If you’re in the NYC area, go show some love!! Honored to have a story in the anthology with such talented people 💚💚💚

The Indie Ink Awards category "Writing the Future we need: Latinx/Latine Representation by a Latinx/Latine author", with book covers displaye. Sordidez by E.G. Conde is highlighted as a winner, with a cover that features a pale woman amid leaves in a watercolor bleed of red and blue at the edges.

🧵My Taínofuturism novella, SORDIDEZ @stelliform.press, won the Indie Ink Award for "Writing the Future We Need: Latinx/Latine Representation by a Latinx/Latine author". What a wonderful way to kick off #HispanicHeritageMonth ! What an important institution for recognizing indie works. Gracias! 1/

this was such a lovely story--the structure, pacing, and prose are so tight. it doesn't shy away from the reality of war and rebellion but it has such a tender core of compassion to it

CLAIRE 😭💜 thank you so much!! Very glad it resonated 🫶🏽

thank you!! It’s got my NYNY story in it 🤩

THANK YOU 💜💜💜

Please go read this gorgeous story by @traewrites.bsky.social. I can feel the cold in my bones and the push and pull of grief. It is a story about memory and loneliness and becoming, perhaps, un-lonely, in time.
