I just want to make something explicitly clear as a publisher.

If you are using generative AI, we will not work with you.

No AI art, writing, brainstorming, nothing.

I won't entertain any debate or attempts to get us to change this policy.

Cover of The Analog Cat and other animals, by Alice Dryden. A blue-toned, striped anthropomorphic cat with glowing green eyes and a bionic right arm stands among circuit boards.

It’s publication day for my short story collection, The Analog Cat! ⌚🐈

If you enjoy the kind of whimsical nonsense I post to social media, my fiction is pretty much the same thing but longer and with a plot.

A blue-furred anthropomorphic cat with glowing green eyes and a cybernetic right arm stands in a portal with a blue background, the portal is surrounded by a circuit board design in shades of green.

The title text reads "The Analog Cat and other animals" with the author name near the bottom reading "Alice Dryden."

Cover reveal!

Robot cats, four hundred drunk rabbits, a kitsune fighter pilot, and a gerbil who thinks she’s James Bond.

A collection of speculative fiction stories, featuring creatures, from Ursa Major and Cóyotl Award winner @huskyteer.co.uk

It can be as simple as a post here on Bluesky, or as complex as a full review on sites like GoodReads or your blog!

All we ask is to remember that reviews are geared towards potential readers, and tell them why they should buy a book!
(Or what type of reader will enjoy a book.)

Have fun all!

Attendees at Anthrocon 2024 viewing the sticker wall in the convention center atrium.

While our fandom loves stickers, we'd like to remind everyone that putting stickers on surfaces in any #Anthrocon venue is not permitted. Specific areas where stickers are allowed will be announced.

Thanks for keeping our convention center and partners happy ❤️

CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.
