Apex Books have been badly hit due to their distributor (Diamond) going bankrupt, and need all the help they can get. One great way to do it would be to purchase the 5 Apex Book of World SF anthologies directly from them! Jason at Apex believed in these when no one else did. Help him out!

My interview with @nghivo.bsky.social for the @strangehorizons.bsky.social podcast is now live! Do you also feel like you're a hamster thrown off the side of a building with just a tiny little parachute on? You can be a successful author too, if you just keep writing. Trust me, the metaphor works!

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

Locus is totally worth subscribing to and not super expensive. But any amount you can spare for the fundraiser is welcome as well. Can’t spare a cent? No prob, just help spread the word.

Templates are a saviour!! In my day job we use email templates for everything, and I've taken to doing that in my podcast work as well with fantastic results; my guests get all the information they need ahead of time, I only have to update one thing to keep info current, and it all goes smoothly!
