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...

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

When it originally appeared in Reckoning 3, "The Blackthorn Door" expanded our concept of what environmental justice means and what a story about it can do. It's a fascinating reframing of the long-term psychological impacts of the horrors of war through the medium of paranormal mystery
New today from @reckoningmag.bsky.social's #Neurodivergent Reprint Collection, A CHORUS, DIVERGENT, @fordwalker.bsky.social's "The Blackthorn Door," a powerful story about trees, trauma, and how memory defines us.
