Look what came in the mail! Honored to receive a Silver Honorable Mention from Writers of the Future. This is the first professional recognition I've received for my fiction. It's really nice to get something in the mail that's not a rejection! 😅

A crash course in marketing for writers - Joel C. Scoberg Writer, editor...and sales and marketing team? While the age old advice 'The best way to promote your book is to write a new one" is still true (so I'm told), nowadays, even traditionally published wr...

I’ve quickly discovered being a writer is about more than writing. Trying to market myself and my work has been a scary step into the unknown. I had a crash course from some pros during the #WritersoftheFuture workshops. Check out my blog for what really helped me

Glorious Grannies: Mature Female Protagonists in Science Fiction and Fantasy Science fiction and fantasy isn’t always the intrepid young hero on his first voyage to Mars. Or the naïve but strong and independent young woman falling for a magically attractive and dangerous fae lord. Although those protagonists are impressively popular, there are plenty of stories where the heroes aren’t young, fresh-faced, able-bodied, perpetually confused, and conventionally attractive. So please get to your feet and provide some thunderous applause for a look at protagonists with a brush of silver in their hair, joints that sometimes creak, and a fondness for quiet coziness in life:

Let's hear it for the stylish and sassy senior ladies of #sciencefiction and #fantasy!

Featuring the fiction of @technomistress.bsky.social , @davidhankins.bsky.social , @bekagremikova.bsky.social , @retreasure.bsky.social , and more.

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
