My story "Breathing Night" is on the BSFA Longlist in the Short Fiction category! And thanks to its reading by @spacecowboybooks
for Simultaneous Times, in Audio Fiction, too! And it's in such great company in both categories. I'm swooning. Catch me. #sff #shortfiction #bsfa #audio #podcast https://www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-longlist

Delighted to report that my essay 'Should Galadriel have taken the Ring?' has been nominated for the BSFA Award for Best Short Non Fiction and Speculative Insight have made it free to read for the voting period. So, be my guest (and BSFA members please consider voting for it).

Wow, an exciting and unexpected honor seeing INVENTING THE RENAISSANCE on the #BSFA awards l long list for best nonfiction long-form. It does indeed relate to SFF reflecting on the myth of dark & golden ages in fiction. (And quoting Firefly & Babylon 5 😉🚀)

We're so excited to see two Stelliform titles make the absolutely stacked BSFA Longlist! Rebecca Campbell’s “Wider Than the Sky, Deeper Than the Sea” (The Other Shore) is nominated in Best Short Fiction and Syr Hayati Beker’s What a Fish Looks Like in Best Shorter Fiction.
