Since it is apparently eligibility reminder season, I published one novelette in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social , one short story in @iftheresanyoneleft.bsky.social , and one poem in @utopiascifi.bsky.social last year. I would be honored if you considered any of them for appropriate awards.
Star*Line does have fantastic response times!
Got my third mention on Mike Glyer's excellent newszine
@file770.bsky.social. If I get to 10, I'll count that as having made it!

Couldn't agree more!!!
Just finished writing my intro to an interview with S. T. Joshi for the weird fiction issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social. I think readers are going to be particularly interested to hear his thoughts on how the genre is to be properly defined #weirdfiction
Have my fingers crossed!
The Daily Telegraph is running a poetry competition. Is it just me or is this part of the contract extremely dodgy?
Thrilled to announce that "I Carried a Brain Under My Arm" will be appearing in an issue of Star*Line. This is my second poem for this excellent magazine, the first being "Einstein Dreaming." Link to the first one here! #poetry #sciencefiction
