I was lucky enough to get my hands on an advance copy of A Dark and Narrow House by @usmantm.bsky.social. I remember Usman telling me a very little about the novel he was working on while at a WorldCon many moons ago, and I've been looking forward to reading it ever since!

A lovely contributor's copy of Suffering the Other from @dimshores.bsky.social arrived in the mail today! The anthology supports Transgender Law Center and National Immigration Project. I can't wait to dive in and read the other authors' stories!

This is an excellent reminder/reality check regarding the state of publishing. It's depressing, but also strangely comforting to know that you're not alone and so much of a book's success (or not) is out of the author's control.

Finally, some updates. All copyedits for SUFFERING THE OTHER have been rolled in, and we have a new ARC. A few last tweaks and some proofreading, then it will be ready for publication. I plan to open up pre-orders this week, with shipping in late September.

Only three days left in the @locusmag.bsky.social anthology Kickstarter! How freakin' awesome would it be to have an entire novella by @wtalabi.com included? And a gorgeous original piece of cover art by @johnpicacio.bsky.social? Let's make it happen!

Locus Magazine@locusmag.bsky.social

Everyone! Funding ends Fri Aug 7 @ 6PM PDT. We are so close to reaching our $60k goal (adding a novella), but our DREAM GOAL gets us original cover art and allows us to double pay contributors. We want to show more love to our authors & you can help @ kck.st/4wtYJ6X !
