I WON A WORLD FANTASY!!!!!! It has been a difficult day so far but just got these wonderful news! ❤️ 🏆 Congratulations to all the winners and finalists. It's impossible to put into words how honored I am to be amongst you all.

I wrote a bit of what it meant to win the World Fantasy in one of the more tense days of my life! renanbernardo.beehiiv.com/p/i-am-a-wor...

Congratulations to all the World Fantasy Awards winners, especially Story Hour guests @wnwagner.bsky.social, @tanaudel.bsky.social, @thomasha.bsky.social, @ethereallad.bsky.social, and @renanbernardo.com! You are awesome!

Have you bought it yet? You should. 250,000 words of short fiction and poetry, all in the palm of your hand (depending on the size of your device and/or whether or not you get the print edition). 🙃 All proceeds go to keeping the magazine running! magazine.trollbreath.com/trollbreath-...

This! You have no idea how this worked well!

Congratulations, @wnwagner.bsky.social!!!!!! 🎉

Congrats @renanbernardo.com on the World Fantasy win for best short story!!!

GO VOTE! Turnout matters! Also, disrupt the algorithm by liking, commenting and sharing leftists posts but COMPLETELY IGNORING right wing posts NO MATTER WHAT. Let them come complain on posts with leftists talking points AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. The more people doing it together the better

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

This is my first award win and I cannot express how happy I am right now! ❤️💚 (I might be wrong but someone said I was the second South American author to ever win the World Fantasy!)

YES!!!!! F*CK FASCISM!!!! ONE MORE VICTORY TODAY! 🇧🇷

Heartiest congratulations to all the winners including @renanbernardo.com, @wnwagner.bsky.social, @tanaudel.bsky.social, @thomasha.bsky.social @edenroyce.bsky.social and @jhameia.bsky.social! You are all very much deserving and its so cool to see y'all get these wins.

Congratulations to all the winners of the World Fantasy Awards! Including @renanbernardo.com, @thomasha.bsky.social, @tanaudel.bsky.social, @wnwagner.bsky.social, @carinabissett.bsky.social, and @edenriverstrust.bsky.social!

Congratulations to all, and a special shout out to two times visitor to the Translunar Travelers Lounge, @renanbernardo.com

Today is a very nerve-wrecking day (and this week has been) for me and many Brazilians. I can't fathom how we can be 50/50 between fascism/loss of sovereignity and democracy. But I'm glad to say that I got an acceptance for a magazine that I really love! ❤️

It ends two days from now!!! 🚀

A friendly reminder: I maintain a list of space opera novels by cisgender women, trans, and non-binary authors. Suggest works via the link, & share with everyone who might find it of use! You can find the list right here: tiny.cc/spaceoperali... Enjoy! #books

If you're starting to submit your stories, stop what you're doing and take some minutes to read this piece by @wiswell.bsky.social to understand more about your rights as an author and what you're usually selling when you're accepted. johnwiswell.substack.com/p/knowing-yo...

I forgot to shout about this, but The Desolate Order of the Head in the Water, by @awprihandita.bsky.social, is both heart-breaking and ominous, and I think it deserves your attention! Appeared at @clarkesworldmagazine.com. clarkesworldmagazine.com/prihandita_0...

On behalf of everyone at Clarkesworld, we would like to thank all the subscribers who joined during our recent subscription drive. Because of you, we've been able to give all our staff and contributors a raise for our 20th anniversary.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the publication of my very first science fiction short story, over at @strangehorizons.bsky.social! Read it! Look at baby Scalzi doing his thing! (Note: I was not really a baby, I was, like 32. EVEN SO) strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

Did y'all know Meta is sabotaging the Brazilian election? Meta AI refuses to generate images that support Lula, but have no problem generating materia suporting Bozonazi Jr. US friends, let your representatives know.

I've got an acceptance and can't wait to tell you about it! 👽🪐🫁

Another cool thing is that my story "An Unbreakable Link", set in the Veiled Space shared universe by JM Beraldo (translated from Portuguese by Santiago Santos) is going live in December! Two lovers connected by a cable. The hunt for the miracle that can divorce them. www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMBQDGTP

Publishers Weekly called today, asking questions about the Must Read Magazines contract situation. Did a 38-minute interview w/ them. This story isn’t going away. ICYMI: I’ll fight just as hard for the rights of the kid entering the industry as I will for my own. Don’t f**k w/ artists’ rights.

That's right, contracts have gone out for the March and June issues of 2027. We had so many great things we decided to pull the trigger on purchases. The submission queue will reopen in January as we hunt for stories and poems for our September and December issues next year!

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

hello, I am doing some research and would like to tap into the collective brains of BSKY: 1. can you share some genre or literary fiction magazines that have closed and the archive is NO LONGER ONLINE 2. the same but the archives remain online FOR NOW i would also appreciate RTs for awareness 💀
