The Allure and Terror of First Contact with Aliens | Galaxy Press Explore the allure and terror of first contact with aliens—from SETI and NASA’s James Webb to classic sci-fi and the story “Code L1” in Writers of the Future Vol 41.

I love a first contact SF story (or film), and Andrew Jackson has written a cool blog about them. He also wrote the excellent (and scary) first contact story, “Code L1”, in #WritersoftheFuture #WOTF41. If you also love first contact stories (come on, who doesn’t?!), go check them out

"Hope", by Fatinha Ramos: https://illustrationwest.org/59/editorial/hope/.

In the intro to #WotF41, Jody Lynn Nye advises: write something “you know is missing from the literature.”
Not quite missing, but amidst a deluge of apocalypses, there’s not nearly enough stories that are honest about the shittiness of our world and yet still find an honest light of hope.

It's been a busy few weeks promoting the launch of #WOTF41 and I've been doing more media interviews and events than I ever thought (I thought I would do none, ever 😂). It was all good fun, though I was a little nervous to be on TV (and it feels weird to say that I was on TV!) #writingcommunity 🪐📚

Writers & Illustrators of the Future Workshop Week2025 – Day 8 | Writers & Illustrators of the Future Fresh off the gala glow, winners dove into a workshop on self-promotion—mastering media, marketing, pitching, and building a lasting career brand.

The day after the gala, much like today after the book launch for #WOTF41, was more relaxed, but we still had workshops on marketing, interviews, conventions and elevator pitches. Then, sadly, it was our last evening together before we all headed back to reality.
