Completely understandable, thank you for your work :)

Incredibly sad to see @cypayseur.bsky.social and with him, his poetry reviews go from Locus Magazine.

Most reviewers completely ignore the poetry in issues they write about and I'll miss being able to tell my Strange Horizons poets their poem was mentioned in such a big publication.

A view of the lunar landscape above which reads "Have you submitted your Rhysling nominations yet?"

SFPA members, there’s still time to nominate your favorite poems of 2025 for the Rhysling Awards! Nominations close February 15, so get yours in today!

can't believe no one told me (paperback fangirl) they got rid of the mass market paperback

usually we get around 350 submissions a month I'd say

let's see if I'll be done reading by the end of the year 😅

interesting theory 🤔 I didn't pay attention to that, but I feel like we didn't get that many poems the other times we were open for fiction

BURY HER.

(not really. we're open to subs year-round. you can send when you're ready. but that includes now, if you're ready now.)

Poetry Submission Guidelines How to submit poetry.

I got 500+ submissions (potentially 3000+ poems) already, might as well add more

Remember, since awards season means Rhyslings as well as the Poetry Nebulas and Hugos too:

if you loved a speculative poem in the last year, shout it out loud! Remind people that a wealth of specpo is available online to read for free! Your appreciation helps others' discovery more than you know.

With the Nebula and BSFA nominations open, I’d be honored if you’d consider my novelette, “We Begin Where Infinity Ends,” published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a story of friendship, love, and fireflies✨🪲

can't wait to read it!

hi poets, I'm taking poetry submissions over at Strange Horizons this month

strangehorizons.com/submit/poetry-submission-guidelines

We're putting together a mailing list for short fiction reviewers and critics to get review copies of the magazine.

So if you're a short fiction reviewer - first off you're doing the lord's work - but also email me at jonny@seizethepress.com and I'll add you to our shiny new reviewers list.

Day 6 of #12DaysOfPoetry coincides with New Hearing Device day for me. To that end, I offer “Worlds I Didn’t Hear,” which bowed last year at @strangehorizons.bsky.social.

There’s probably a whole collection here somewhere. 🤔

the photo you took of this is so cool I thought you're showing off your photography 😮 the color composition!!

"okay lucy guo, why don't you kill all the tech bros then?" - lyrics from the fake punk band I made up in my dream last night

Poster text: Happy Bandcamp Day to all who celebrate. Buying an album on Bandcamp pays an artist about the same as streaming it every day for a year

#BandcampFriday 🔥

couldn't think of the word "em-dashes" and called them "thinking stripes" instead 😔

Thank you to everyone who's shared & donated for their generosity. Support has slowed a lot, & Archita would be very grateful if you could help her reach her goal and some semblance of security in this terrible time.

this year I became a full-blown novella guy

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

My father’s least favorite prophecy
has been reviewed by five generations of scholars
and soundly dismissed by them all.

To Be the Change When the heir becomes a daughter…

For me, it's probably my poem 'To Be the Change', which was released this spring from @strangehorizons.bsky.social! This was my first explicitly trans piece to enter the world; it tackles familial expectations and ancestral prophecies through a fantasy lens.
