Hey, a reminder that I’m looking for work. I’m an award winning writer and editor serving the community. My book Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction just won an Ignyte award! I’m looking for clients, and would love to work in narrative games.
Get in touch with me!
I also haven't had a chance to post about it between the High Holidays and a lot of Dayjob Workthings, but!
There are TWO out intersex authors who won Lambdas this year, I think this has never happened before. Awesome!
@kaylaancrum.bsky.social with Icarus & Yael Van Der Wouden with Safekeep!
We'll have a formal statement posted on our website before our next submissions period, but for the record, it will essentially read: NOPE
