Emma is our most-published author, known for her unique, stylistic writing styles that innovate the short fiction form.
Her latest story with us is a softer, sweeter, more existential, and loving story that mixes sadness with yearing, and hope with generational spaceships

Radon Journal Issue 12 is out now, including my sci-fi short story, The Atures Parrot. This one is very special for me, because it's a story I hoped I'd be able to tell for a very long time. It's about gravity, memory, and being the last one to speak a dead language 🚀

It's out!
My new flash sci-fi story, "Uncontrolled Emotion," features a censor with no memory of signing his contract, and two women whispering on the other end of a line.
It's free to read right now, and be sure to check out the other stories this issue, too! I certainly will be!

Click to view our Issue 12 infograph. Fiction submissions are lower, but more poetry submissions made up the difference. Acceptance rate went up just a tad to 1.1% due to more flash fiction. Few people are writing dystopia amid Trump 2.0. All but one story is sci-fi. Transhumanism only 6% this round
