writers,

in this industry, sometimes you have to make difficult decisions.

sometimes that will look similar to what someone else did...

sometimes it will be totally different.

know that it is okay if your path doesn't mirror someone else's;

and that it is important to take care of yourself.

there's so much hate in this country.

folks who benefit the most from that hate truly love it when marginalized people target, marginalize, and hate each other.

48 million and 32 million are much stronger as 80 million 💪🏽

support each other as much as you can. listen; learn.

be kind to yourself.

the final story of our final issue of Fantasy Magazine went up as free-to-read, Ichthyosis, and it's seriously SO GOOD - do yourself a favor: if you want to read something beautiful and startling, put your eyes on this.

there's lots of great fiction and poetry on the site! please enjoy! : )
the time has come

the final GLORIOUS story ✨

"When your skin peels away from your loosening flesh in coils, trailing soft, brown ribbons in its wake, your lovers swathe you in cotton-gauze and bring you to the sea."

Take good care of yourselves folks!

Whether it's Locus or something else, it's critical to support the mags you love in whatever ways you can! Financially, signal boosting, etc. Even talking up a publication at events/conventions can help! Of course: money is ALWAYS nice....

Do what's right for you to help the publications you love.
Today is the very LAST day to double your gift to Locus this year!
We are so, so close to meeting our match goal, help us get over the line!

Make a donation at bwc.io/locus2025 and it will be matched via our donors!
