Cover of PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE with the text: “...A refined, pensive tale, where the magical trimmings fade away to focus on the larger, fable-like narrative at play. A tale of loss and hope and how the present can give way to new futures.” -Kirkus review October 21, 2025
PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE is featured in Kirkus Review's Fall Preview print edition!
Here's a bit of the lovely review - Read it all here: www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

“What a light of hope this has been,” said one woman whose son owed $17,000.
Congratulations to all of the #HugoAward finalists and winners!!

Foglifter Online Exclusive Issue. Body Politics. Call for Submissions seeking poetry, fiction, nonfiction, drama, comics, visual art, scripts, multimedia, and other digital work that may not fit within the constraints of the print medium.
Foglifter Online Exclusive Issue Body Politics. Bodies are sites of power, protest, pleasure, oppression, transformation, and resistance. They are legislated, labeled, liberated, and loved. In a world where bodies are constantly scrutinized, marginalized, and controlled-especially queer, trans, fat, disabled, racialized, and reproductive bodies-we want to create a space for work that responds, reclaims, and reimagines. Call for Submissions. August 15 - October 15.
📣 Foglifter is adding an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE ISSUE to its annual publication roster. 📣
For 1.1, our theme is Body Politics. Submissions are open until October 15, but we love early submissions.
