Very excited to have a speculative flash piece out with Small Wonders today!

Thank you so much, Small Wonders!

Me and @maryrobinettekowal.com are hitting the road to talk about RED STAR HUSTLE / APPREHENSION - come through, it'll be a frickin DELIGHT.

With events virtually and in NYC, Decatur GA, Washington DC, Houston, Portland OR, Boulder, and San Diego!!

We’ve been selling books in San Diego for 33 years, but lifelong San Diegans still have never heard of us.

Indie bookstores don’t have marketing budgets to pay for ads on Google or sponsor huge events.

What we rely on is you. Word-of-mouth is the lifeblood that keeps indie bookstores alive.

If you’re on the fence about supporting us for your books over Amazon, would it help to know we didn’t sponsor the White House’s Easter Egg Roll last week like Amazon?

Congratulations, 2025 cohort!! Welcome to the Clarion community!

We are so excited to announce our talented cohort of writers for the 2025 Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. Congratulations to these incredible writers! We cannot wait to meet you all in San Diego!

Friends don’t let friends buy their books from Amazon’s sale this week.

Friends take friends to celebrate Indie Bookstore Day on April 26th instead at their local shops.

(Take your enemies, too.)

PVWW Founder / Director Joy Baglio will be featured in this reading at @forbeslibrary.bsky.social in Northampton MA (also livestreamed)!

It's time to get those stories in! Applications for the 2025 Clarion Writers’ Workshop close tomorrow, February 18, at 11:59 am PST! We are so excited to read all of your fantastic work. Apply through the link below:

I had the privilege of workshopping this at Clarion, and it was one of my favorites!! Rachel is such a talented writer AND a lovely person. PLUS, the cover art is by another one of my talented lovely friend @beingcam.bsky.social — what a coincidence!

Congratulations, Rachel!! I loved this story when you brought it to our Clarion workshop, and I'm so excited to see it published.

This story is so magical. Congratulations, Rachel! I loved reading this piece when we were at the Clarion workshop, and I am thrilled to see it published!! Everyone, please go read this gorgeous story. smallwondersmag.com/piece/ways-o...

One of the most brilliant writers I know, Tamara Masri, has an incredible story published today. I had the honor of reading an early draft of this story at Clarion, and it was truly one of the most deeply meaningful stories I've ever read!
