I finally got it published in a journal: a review/opinion paper on addressing consent in AI systems. They're still unlikely to give a damn but at least proposed solutions are out there.

Maybe I do need two careers. Nothing gets me as productive in one than using it as escape to procrastinate the other.

As another year draws to a close remember that your career is only one part of life, kindness matters, and the rock that sits atop the mountain is no more important than the ones which form the base.
Let the dumpster fire that was 2025 propel you into 2026 and enjoy another chapter of the ride.

The year wrapped up nicely last week. Finished my edits on my latest novel and sent it to the editor, got a biomedical AI paper published in MELBA journal, and my paper on incorporating consent in AI systems "Consentful-by-Design" was accepted at AI & Society journal, my proudest paper to date 🙌

With the Nebula and BSFA nominations open, I’d be honored if you’d consider my novelette, “We Begin Where Infinity Ends,” published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a story of friendship, love, and fireflies✨🪲

I'm in the current issue of Analog. I managed to negotiate to a contract I was willing to sign. Naively, I thought that established writers giving this feedback would eventually make a dent.
It hasn't. I don't know that it will. I just wrote to Trevor withdrawing a story I'd sold to him.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Oh frig it's awards eligibility post season! Had a few things come out but what I'd like to focus on is my debut novella FEEDING THE WHEEL (Dead Sky Publishing, July 2025). If you thought it was cool, *I'd* think it was cool if you suggested it for long fiction or debut categories or whatever. Party

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
