Contract signed! Pleased to announce I have a novelette forthcoming in @nightmare-magazine.com. I am immeasurably grateful to @wnwagner.bsky.social for this opportunity. Prepare yourselves for creepy horse vibes and a sinister trek through a bog.

Seeking recommendations for Book Riot, my lovelies: What are some Native and Indigenous SFF that you're excited about releasing this year? SFF that leans horror is totally fine as well. Links appreciated!

So so so excited to have my micro horror, “As It Sweeps, As It Cleans” appear in @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social’s newsletter as part of her Halloween micro series. Check it out now! cynthiapelayoauthor.substack.com/p/halloween-...

On this day of my birth, I proclaim NO REJECTIONS for everyone. No rejections! Only coffee!!

In my latest for Reactor, I explore the history of nonbinary pronouns in science fiction, and why all my books have nonbinary characters.

Tremendous gratitude to @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social for including my story "Bahiyyah and the Brass Lamp" (published in @lunastation.bsky.social) as one of September's ten must-read stories over at @reactorsff.bsky.social!

BIG NEWS: WE'RE DOING A PODCAST!! Hosted by ME. Which means I get to talk to people about books even more than I already do! The first episode is about SWORD LESBIANS & LADY KNIGHTS and it's with Alix E Harrow, CL Clark, and Tasha Suri and it's SO GOOD!! I can't wait for you all to hear it!

1) I'm on the board of the Ray Bradbury Center 2) I am co-editing a new anthology (with Carrie Cooper, Assistant Director of the Ray Bradbury Center and public humanities scholar).

I SENT A NOVEL DRAFT TO MY AGENT! I know it probably needs a lot of work but I sent it! A novel-shaped thing! 🎉😭

I was SO close to being done with this draft, and I hoped to send it to my agent tomorrow BUT then Word CRASHED and I lost two days of work, it's fine it's gonna be fine *laugh-cries maniacally*

I can't thank any of you enough for showing up for me. 🙏 We're almost halfway there, whoa badger on a pear 🍐🦡🐾 www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

According to Kickstarter tracking service, Kicktraq, the LIGHTSPEED + NIGHTMARE campaign is trending toward only reaching 94% of our goal. So WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP. If you love SF, fantasy, and horror short fiction, please consider backing today and sharing this post. bit.ly/LS-NM-26

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Wake up, let dogs out, cuddle with 5yo, squint at email notifications and then slowly realize...oh snap, a short story acceptance?! So coffee with a little celebration dance this morning.

i've said it before and i'll say it again

ICYMI my flash story "12 Things I Wished Happened at the Louvre Heist" published in @trampset.bsky.social last week and is free to read!

I can't believe I have to keep doing this, but time to tap the sign again. Emily Bell, who also edits Atthis Arts under the name E.D.E. Bell, is still harassing me and others. Read my original report for details. New details in following thread. 1/ www.patreon.com/jasonsanford...

Such a lovely and thoughtful review of my flash story! Thank you for reading and sharing!

SO EXCITED!

they are stealing your tax money for this and doing irreversible damage to children along the way.

Thank you so much for the lovely shout-out, @storyhour.bsky.social! 😊

My bones need some recovery time, y'all, so @thedeadlands.com is taking a break to give me that time. 💖💀💖

This story is fantastic! Powerful and biting.

My latest #fantasy flash “Venom is Poison is Strength is Venom” is now free to read at Flame Tree! 🐍 I’m very proud of this story. Head on over to their newsletter archive to check it out: www.flametreepress.com/newsletters/...

Very grateful to see such a kind review and a recommendation for this bleak/weird/ugly story: “Lightspeed’s June issue kicks off in grand style with ‘Ghost in the Tank’ … It’s a vividly told story about a world, and a relationship where every good moment feels stolen, broken, and, eventually, lost.”

SO very excited to announce that my flash fiction story "12 Things I Wished Happened at the Louvre Heist" is forthcoming in @trampset.bsky.social in September!

Hello, book people! I am the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and speculative books coming out in 2027! If you have an adult or YA SFF/H book out next year (or publicist), share the link/info here!

A flash fiction acceptance!? To a dream magazine!? In my inbox?! It's fine, it's fine, I'm not crying it's just dog hair in my eyes.

if there's a writer you like, and you'd like to keep reading that writer's work, *you need to pay for their work*

Well, I joined Threads. I'm curious, but I also feel like I'm in Blair Witch with the camera in my face and I'm whispering "I'm so scared." We'll see if this lasts or if I nope out.

George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo is a book with a unique prose style that asks a lot of the reader, but it also teaches you how to read it within about 25 pages. I have absolutely no respect for people who won’t even fucking try.
