Stelliform Press

54. Sordidez by E.G. Condé from the fantastic @stelliform.press Post climate-apocalypse Puerto Rico & the Yucatan. On how violence leads to violence. But also gardening & solar nets & reclaiming your own heritage & myth & throwing off your colonial oppressors. www.stelliform.press/index.php/pr...

Wildcraft Drones by T.K. Rex from the always impressive @stelliform.press Short stories spanning centuries telling the story of humanity shaped by climate crisis and the rise of an AI network of drones that decides to rewild the earth for our own good.

This is late, but I had a great time (as usual) at Can*Con! It was wonderful to see all who stopped by the booth and to chat with smart and kind people on panels. I don't have any pictures! Except for some from my wee Can*Con afterparty: the Igorrr show which slapped so hard I'm still reeling!

We’re excited to return to Can\*Con again this weekend! We can’t wait to meet authors, catch up with old friends, make new ones, and join some cool panels on authorial vision and small press resistance. Find Stelliform books in the Vendor’s Hall all weekend, and sign up for a pitch session with us!

"Those who broke the world should not be entrusted with its repair." Today, I honor the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean with a quote from my Taínofuturism novella, SORDIDEZ. ( @stelliform.press ) 🐚🪶📘 #ColumbusDay #FuckColumbus #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Check this out. THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT has been reviewed in Science!

A science magazine reviewing a solarpunk novel? We love to see it! Wendy Waring’s THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT is in Science, bringing fiction into the conversation about climate, inequality, and the futures we’re building. Thanks to author Priya Dames! Read it here: www.science.org/doi/...

New extra unhinged interview up at JMWW this morning. Thanks @swethaamit.bsky.social :) jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2026/10/05/c...

We love a resilient backlist title over here 🐙

I have to say, this weekend was so refreshing. In my teaching dayjob the continual refrain is that people don't read anymore (and this is not without evidence unfortunately) and we're reshaping curricula for very low literacy even at post-secondary. It was lovely to be around those excited to read.

Still recovering from our big book weekend! Thanks to everyone who visited Stelliform at Word on the Street and Little Ghosts Fest, and to the volunteers, organizers, booth neighbours, & friends who made it possible. Extra love to the horror community for welcoming my kid for their vendor debut. 👻

One weekend, two festivals, strange and beautiful eco-fiction awaits! Find Stelliform Press at The Word On The Street in David Pecaut Square and Little Ghosts Fest at the Tranzac, Sept. 26–27. Browse eco-fiction by day at WOTS, then come to the dark side at Little Ghosts. Both festivals are free!

Toronto, find your next strange, hopeful read! Stelliform Press is heading to The Word On The Street, Sept. 26–27 at David Pecaut Square. Find us in Indie Alley for a free celebration of Canadian and Indigenous literature. toronto.thewordonthe...

Thanks to Paul Semel for this interview with Wendy Waring about THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT - from “chichi lettuce” and class vertigo to Paris’ walls, genre-crossing, grief and hope. Read the full interview here: paulsemel.com/exclus...

What does legacy mean when the world is at a tipping point? On John Scalzi’s blog, Wendy Waring shares her Big Idea, tracing the journey that transformed The Hunger of Those Who Built It into a novel of climate crisis, sisterhood, & the worlds we build for those who follow.

Publication day is here! Wendy Waring’s THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT is now available everywhere books are sold. Good Reading calls it “seductively spellbinding” and declares, “Debuts aren’t supposed to be this good.” We couldn’t agree more.

I am so grateful, and am profoundly touched at the support I had in that room. I will hold that warmth in my heart for a very long time.

A packed house for The Hunger of Those Who Built It! Thank you to The City & The City Books for hosting, and to everyone who came to celebrate Wendy Waring’s phenomenal novel with us. We couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome - or a more joyful launch.

So wonderful to have such supportive friends! Glad to see you there! @stelliform.press (some excellent photos)

Congratulations to @wendywaring.bsky.social for a successful and well attended launch of her debut novel THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT at The City & The City Books.

The title is the warning. This Strange Horizons review places Wendy Waring’s novel squarely in our moment of wealth inequality -- when we must decide who our society serves, what we owe one another, and what kind of future we will build. Check out the full review here: strangehorizons.com/...

Hamilton, help us celebrate tonight! Join Wendy Waring and David Neil Lee for the launch of THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT. Come for readings, conversation, free refreshments, and a greener future worth fighting for! Sept. 10, 7–9 p.m. The City & The City Books, 181 Ottawa St. N.

New SH review from a new SH reviewer! Here's @janpriddy.bsky.social on Wendy Waring's attenuated dystopia, The Hunger of Those Who Built It (@stelliform.press). The novel "forces readers to confront the current drift of history into disaster," says Jan.

Wendy Waring is taking THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT on tour! Join us Sept 10 at The City & The City, Sept 13 at Supercrawl, and Sept 18 online at Flights of Foundry. Come imagine what we might build beyond the status quo. The novel arrives Sept. 17!

Change is the core of what matters in HUNGER, and Christine Higdon goes straight to the heart. @christinehigdon.bsky.social

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

“Save seeds, remember one another, refuse silence.” Our warmest thanks to Tessa McWatt for this generous blurb for Wendy Waring’s HUNGER. Join us at The City & The City on September 10 to launch this “compelling, lyrical novel”!

We're gearing up for Supercrawl and hope to see you there! Don't miss events at the Authors Tent at the Wolsak & Wynn office at 280 James North. For this Sept 13 panel on fantastical lit, Wendy Waring joins authors Ai Jiang and Gary Barwin in a chat moderated by Lynne Sargent.

Taínofuturism is growing! At WorldCon, I revealed the cover art for CACIQUES (@stelliform.press) an indigenous science fiction novella coming in 2027. Preorders are available for the action-packed standalone sequel to the award winning SORDIDEZ 🔥🙏🏼🛖🪶🐚 www.stelliform.press/index.php/pr...

For those of us regretfully missing WorldCon, today E.G. Condé read from his forthcoming novella, CACIQUES, and revealed the new cover. We're thrilled to work with artist Paulina Niño again to create another stunning cover for this follow-up to the award-winning SORDIDEZ.

@boriscrito.bsky.social and I will be representing @stelliform.press at LACon this weekend. What a time to stand up for Canadian climate SF! For a copy of @tkrex.bsky.social's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES or @syr.bsky.social's WHAT A FISH LOOKS LIKE imported just ahead of the new tariffs, come find me

Much gratitude for Christine Higdon and her kind words for Wendy Waring's THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT. "Waring brings us a suspenseful, intelligent, and hopeful tale about climate action and who reaps its benefits. This is a book for our times.” There's still time to get your pre-order in!

Began reading The Jaguar Mask by Michael F. DeLuca yesterday. Beautifully-written and utterly gripping modern fantasy set in Guatemala. Protagonists are an indigenous jaguar man driving an illegal cab dragged into investigation of a political murder and an artist whose mother was one of the victims.

Hamilton, let’s celebrate! Join Wendy Waring and guest David Neil Lee for the launch of THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT. Come for readings, conversation, free refreshments, and a greener future worth fighting for! Sept. 10, 7–9 p.m. The City & The City Books, 181 Ottawa St. N.

Every Friday, we meet a BFS member & peer deep into their soul. Here's sci-fantasy author @voidcricket.bsky.social, who also works in editorial at @stelliform.press. They're aiming for something that becomes a cult hit with a "small but feral following". britishfantasysociety.org/meet-ren-hut...

Emma Donoghue praises my forthcoming novel, The Hunger of Those Who Built It. Yes, THAT Emma Donoghue. :-)

"I was riveted by this all-too-believable tale of post-apocalyptic struggle between corporate overlords and undercover radicals, which also manages to work as a heartfelt family drama and a love letter to Paris.” Much gratitude to Emma Donoghue for these kind words about Wendy Waring's debut novel!

Rewilding? Drones? I had many questions for @tkrex.bsky.social about their new book THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. Hope you'll check out our convo. They shared unpublished illustrations with us, too! #solarpunk #SFF #SpecLit #author #BookSky #climate @stelliform.press brightflame.com/the-land-the...

We're excited to share this new novella, to be published in 2027. If you liked ORIGINS OF DESIRE IN ORCHID FENS, you will love Lynn Hutchinson Lee's follow-up, EUKARYA, which includes a recurring character you won't want to miss. Congrats on your new book, Lynn! We're thrilled to be publishing it.

Coming up soon! Authors-in-the-Park, Sunday August 23 at Victoria Park, Hamilton, 1-5 p.m. Come by to check out offerings from Hamilton's indie lit scene and meet local authors. Wendy Waring will be at the Stelliform tent with her book fresh off the printer! The festival is free to all.
