Better late than never! Here is my awards eligibility list for 2025. It’s a smaller list than previous years, as I’ve been working on longer projects, but any pub is a win, and I am so SO grateful to the magazines and editors that took on my work.

In my latest @bookriot.bsky.social post, I wrote about my love for Annie Proulx's FEN, BOG, & SWAMP, a fascinating book about the awe-inspiring impact and necessity of our wetlands and also a great inspirational read for writers who want to write about bogs (i.e. me).

Repetitive Observation: The Fascination of Fens, Bogs, & Swamps
This book about fens, bogs, and swamps will open your eyes not only to these fascinating environments, but it will encourage a practice of observation.

Hi, friends! It's been brought to my attention that Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine is categorized as a novel on the SFWA Reading List. It is, in fact, not a novel but a short story collection. There's even that handy word "Stories" on the front cover. Thanks for reading and stay cool!

Hi we're abstaining because it sucks ass, hope that helps
AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.
Abstinence From AI Is Not the Answer
Opinion | Refusing to use AI won’t protect society. Responsible resistance must include gaining knowledge about it.
