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 💜💜💜

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - The Forgotten by Trae Hawkins And though you are aware of your mind’s steady emptying, you recognize that you have come this far, to this land so cold and unforgiving, to support a life you detest. You recognize that, like the For...

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.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💜💜

Looking forward to this new story by @traewrites.bsky.social Hawkins.

SURPRISE 🥹 I’ve dreamed of appearing in Beneath Ceaseless Skies ever since I started seriously writing and I’m so stoked my little story about weird lands, memories, trauma, and solidarity found a home here 💫 the ebook is out today!! Please support if you can!! 💜

I once took a 3-day Amtrak across the country because I was scared of flying and ended up conceptualizing, outlining, and partially drafting an entire novel during those three days 🤩 So my unhinged writing advice is to book that cross-country Amtrak and get to writing!

happy ✨cover✨ day (and some reading material for ya!)

So glad to see this story will be delighting even more readers soon. I knew @traewrites.bsky.social was doing something special as soon as I read the first line.

NEW BLOG POST ALERT! 🌱🍄
Violet Lichen Books and Apex Book Company are delighted to announce the finalists for the inaugural ECO: The Year’s Best Speculative Ecofiction! Thank you to everyone who submitted and nominated stories this year. Check the post or keep reading for the full table of contents!

SO HONORED & EXCITED to be a part of this anthology and with so many insanely talented authors 🥹🌱❤️

Thinking a lot these last few months about how Anathema and FIYAH both launched in 2017. FIYAH's still going and Anathema's relaunching this year under a new masthead. (Been on hiatus a bit.)

Making art under a fascist regime can feel impossible. Can feel unimportant. But it keeps the spirit alive.

and just like that.. I’m throwing in a vampire or two

good point 👀

Trying my absolute hardest not to shove vampires into a novel that definitely doesn’t need vampires 😭

The show-stopping, mind-numbingly beautiful anthology me and my extremely talented friends put together is on sale!! 💜 Lots of the stories are so, so important, especially right now books2read.com/newyearnewyo...
