thanks eternal to @utopiascifi.bsky.social for taking one of my best poems for their publication

Big thanks from us as well. We are very glad to have it.

Thanks to @spacecowboybooks.bsky.social for this mini interview about Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine! We talked strength in numbers, borrowed forms, and some of the book’s most fun experiments.

I have two trans SF flash pieces that came out in August! "Through Time and Calamity" came out in @tychebooks.bsky.social's STARSHIP LIBRARIANS anthology, and "Speak" was part of @utopiascifi.bsky.social's August issue!

Genuinely bewilders me that the work of Michael Moorcock is as absent as it is from the conversations around the fantasy genre today.

The first author I read to show me what else fantasy could be. So of course I'm biased and yes I'm old.

I've just conducted a fantastic interview with Alyssa Winans @alawinans.bsky.social! Look out for her answers in the next issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social. It's a must read for the speculative artists out there. #art #sciencefiction

Thanks. We can't wait to read the rest!

We'd love to hear something from page 37 (the number of issues we've published so far)

George MacDonald sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/macdon... died on this day, so here are some of the illustrations from an 1894 edition of his "Phantastes: a Faerie Romance" (Artist: John Bell):

We've had loads of beautiful submissions lately but on thing we're always on the look out for is great non-fiction. If you have a unique take on something in the world of SF, Fantasy, technology, or the environment, we'd love to hear from you! #sciencefiction

It is a fine day to be excited about books.

Powers is one of the great reinventors of modern fantasy.

Edits still, but there are some nice moments when you sit back from the nth re-read of your own work to think, "actually there are moments when I turn out a decent line."

We have our monthly editor's meeting coming up. Let us know if there's anything you'd like us to discuss. This could be the kind of stories you'd like to see more of, your thoughts on the art or the poetry, or who you'd like us to interview next. We'd love to hear your thoughts! #sciencefiction

Well done on hitting 3K! I'm some way off getting back to that (as a Twitter emigre)

We're looking to interview another artist for our December issue. We've had Steven Youll, Chris Moore, and John Picacio in the past. Any suggestions for who we should speak to next? #sciencefiction #art
