Less than one week left to back THE COOKOUT anthology of speculative fiction from the African Diaspora. Only 250 to go until we open public submissions (paying at least 10 cents per word), and just over 1k to go until we're funded. You can push us over the top! #authors #readers #speculativefiction
Also, I have a series of short stories in @khoreo.bsky.social, @grist.org @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social that explore different angles of a future culture rooted in caregiving (also what a child needs to be taught to make that society possible)

Solarpunk Magazine Issue #25 is now available and features cover art by Brianna Castagnozzi, fiction by Rae Mariz and Jeff Hewitt, poems by Mari Ness and Pratibha Kumari, nonfiction by Aya Al-Hattab and Wren James.
Our submission boxes are open! Check out our sub guidelines, then send us your #solarpunk! #writers #authors solarpunkmagazine.com/submissions/
We're a U.S. based organization, so yes, at least to start. But we'd like to do a lot of these things outside the U.S. too. For example, no reason a writer's retreat can't be anywhere in the world, same with a conference, etc.
We're gauging community interest in a few in-person event ideas. Please take the poll! You don't have to be a member of or join our Patreon to take the poll. All you need to do is click!
As an FYI, January 1 is just our next open sub window. We'll accept solarpunk horror subs during any of our 2026 open windows through July! And the issue will publish in November 2026. So you don't have to scramble to have work ready in January if that's too fast a turnaround!
"Swamp Witch Season" is a poem that's near and dear to my heart, and Solarpunk is a market I've been trying valiantly to crack for years. I'm extra chuffed that this work of mine is the one to grace their pages. 💚🐸☘️

Left: Bald and glorious Jean-Luc Picard looking handsome as hell. "Dignified, majestic." Right: Stephen Miller, Satan's own polyp, with atrocious sprayed-on hair during a press interview. It's OK to feel confident with faux hair, all the power to you (I'm balding too!), just don't be caught doing it up like a Halloween costume while *also* being a racist ghoul. "graceless loser shit"
October subs are OPEN at @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social!
We want YOU to:
✊🎃 Channel THE HORRORS into tales of resistance!
🌞🎃 Sketch community resilience!
🤪🎃 Mock our pissbaby cringelords!*

*Remember Miller's sprayed-on hair fiasco? Jesus what an asshole.
And just because someone is queer or trans doesn't mean they're part of "The Left." Just ask Caitlyn Jenner.
