I did not have a good experience with this press, fwiw. I'd be very wary of submitting there.

A quote from Andrew Joseph White that reads: If science fiction is how we use the future to explore the present, The Chamos Project is resilience, fear, rage, and love wrapped in circuitry and cybernetics - it is beautiful, and it brought me to tears more than once.

With 2 weeks to go until the launch of THE CHAMOS PROJECT, I'm delighted to be able to share my next blurb, from @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social ! AJ was so kind to read this book and provide this wonderful blurb.

It's always heartbreaking when a lit mag goes away, but it's also a reminder about how much human care and effort goes into making a space for art. Transience doesn't make something less beautiful.

Hi friends, just checking in from Minneapolis. Can we put out a couple asks for your support? 💕

Turns out, it's really hard to run a lit mag in your free time when the federal government has besieged your beloved city.

sometimes what's outlined doesn't work in practice, and it's exactly like finding a shirt that looks nice on the hanger but terrible when you try it on

A book cover set against a starry background. The cover reads "Alexis Ames" and "The Chamos Project". It shows a human hand and an android hand reaching for each other, separated by a grid barrier, only fingertips touching.

Is it wise to do a book cover reveal the week of a holiday? No. Am I doing it anyway? Yes.

Here's the gorgeous cover for my upcoming scifi, THE CHAMOS PROJECT! All credit goes to my wonderful cover designer: creativeparamita.com.

New CNF (my first!) is out now at @paranoidxtree.bsky.social 🛍️

I wrote it almost exactly a month before I quit this job and didn't think I would ever send it out. Grateful to the editors for picking this up and Ruth Baccam for grasping the crux of this story when they created the accompanying art 💞

Autumn colour at Yew Tree Tarn

Wider view across Yew Tree Tarn

Dashed out to Yew Tree Tarn this afternoon to capture the autumn display. I was about half an hour too late for the best light but was happy with these two snatched from the roadside with the treetops illuminated.

Genres aren't real. They are mental projections we impose on stories to simplify the way talk about and sell them but stories come unshaped from deep within us and writers shouldn't feel constrained by or even respect genres at all. The story comes first.

I tend to rely on ChillSubs for finding markets. They have a lot of filters you can play around with to find what you're looking for! @brechtdp.bsky.social's Top 1000 Lit Mags spreadsheet is also a great resource: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I ADORE Kanopy!! My library's catalog is especially incredible for world cinema and documentaries

A small sampling of my watchlist and what you may be able to find:

If you can read Spanish, I hope you like Sofón, Issue 1. It includes 17 SFF short stories and poems in Spanish, which I really enjoyed reading, editing, and putting together. Sofón is the third speculative fiction magazine from Mexico that pays its authors. I also did the cover art ^u^
