Everyone! Anselma's story is incredible, and deserves our votes.

If you’ve read and loved “Negative Scholarship on the Fifth State of Being,” you can consider it in the Clarkesworld Readers’ Poll, in the novelette category!! Nomination is open till Fri (1/24) 3 PM EST. You can choose 6 favorite stories, 4 novelettes, & 3 covers. Anyone can vote!! How fun!! 🤩

HELLO APPARENTLY THE WRITER IS HERE!! Say hi to @rachelsudbeck.bsky.social , and please give her cute little Leviathan a read. I promise it’s not monstrous like the USA on January 20th, 2025. It’s warm and like the light at the end of a tunnel. Plus, it’s a flash, short and sweet!

I had the privilege of workshopping this at Clarion, and it was one of my favorites!! Rachel is such a talented writer AND a lovely person. PLUS, the cover art is by another one of my talented lovely friend @beingcam.bsky.social — what a coincidence!

Congratulations, Rachel!! I loved this story when you brought it to our Clarion workshop, and I'm so excited to see it published.

One of the most brilliant writers I know, Tamara Masri, has an incredible story published today. I had the honor of reading an early draft of this story at Clarion, and it was truly one of the most deeply meaningful stories I've ever read! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/insi...
