Imagine valuing art so much that you think it should be free but not caring if the artists starve.

This essay resonated with me and I knew I just had to acquire it. How many of us struggle with the whole "you need to grow" schtick and how the whole YA thing has MCs ageing rapidly.

And yes, I know the novella market has changed and awards focus is on novellas that appear as standalone books from medium to large publishers but I (obviously) still love publishing and reading novellas as meaty offerings in magazines and anthologies and I hope enough people still do too.
As the end of the year approaches here's my 2025 eligibility post for my novella "Descent" in

a science-fantasy story about an expedition on a planet of sonic storms. Adventure, parental expectations and the limits of knowledge

Too early in the day for someone to email me back a message I drafted specifically for punchy brevity with, "I ran this through DeepSeek to expand on your points". The fuck would DeepSeek know the words between the lines in my head?

Thank you for your generosity and shares! Now to 52% - it *all* helps.
I know there are a lot of fundraisers, but we've been at this 8 months for a Black woman owned small press, and there are many reasons it would really help to rally and close this up.

I think at the end of the day, people forget that the sff scene is propelled by mostly unpaid labour.
And presses and editors still need to eat. You know, thrive.

Moment of appreciation for my excellent human artist @almosthomefree.bsky.social who did this absolute killer for CLUB CONTANGO and it's such a shame you don't get all of it on the cover. Maybe we should issue an art poster for the book's first year? ✨🎲📉🔥

Started building a miniature Chinese street with Sticky that, hey! I got for cheap! Friends, it is cheap because there are no peel and paste stickers, ASMR-satisfying snaps, nor tiny accessories. Every wee bit has to be template-traced, cut, folded, glued, tweezed, and held fast 💀
