Huge shout-outs to fellow panelists @loukoren.bsky.social and @rebecca-b.bsky.social for a great panel on (sustainably) running a magazine.

Also to @moniqueac.bsky.social and @ympang.bsky.social for such a fun talk about submitting short fiction. Could've talked with you all for hours!

I really enjoyed talking about submitting short fiction with @ympang.bsky.social and @andregeleynse.com this afternoon at #CanCon2025 -- I think we could have kept going for quite a while! What a pleasure to meet you both!

I need a timeline cleanse. How about a table of contents announcement! That’s right—despite the world being on fire, it’s time to reveal the TOC for Year’s Best Canadian F&SF Volume 3! It was VERY hard to narrow the list down but it's all killer, no filler. The book launches October 14. Enjoy! 1/2

My writing group is large enough that I don't often cross paths with some people. I picked this up in e-book form as a show of support , not realising how amazing it and its author @ympang.bsky.social were. Only a few stories in and I'm going back for a physical copy!
