I wrote about the inspiration for Discorporation, my dystopian bodymod story published by Analog Fiction&Fact. Enjoy! theastoundinganalogcompanion.com/2024/10/08/m...

So excited for my friend auden patrick to have sold their debut novel!! Congratulations, Auden! 🎉🎆✨ Auden is an amazing author—if you’re into dark academia, put this book on your TBR list!

I have now sent 5 agent queries.

Short answer: no Long answer: noooooooooo

Just realized I can’t come up with an answer to this question myself so I turn to you, readers/writers: What is the last SFF book you read in first person POV with a female main character? I’m super curious if there’s a reason I can’t think of any. 🤔

Suppose now is as good a time as any to share my shiny new website with the world: marvincent.com

GOOD

If the subscription numbers stay up, we will be increasing our fiction pay rate to 14 cents/word by the end of the year. Would have happened sooner, if a certain bookseller hadn't screwed us. We're working to pay everyone here better. No one left behind. clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

If you didn’t see it when it came out earlier this year, why not check out this sparkly little story I wrote? ✨ Thank you to Small Wonders for sharing it with the world! ✨

Querying writers, how many passes did it take before you got a request (of any sort) from an agent? 🤔

So very honored to hear that my short story “The City and the Styrofoam Sea” has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Thanks to @apparitionlit.com for the nom! apparitionlit.com/the-city-and... Go, little story, go!

Got my first full request today! Gonna be totally normal about it, uh huh, yep, you bet I am. 🫣

Tell me you have no idea what bookes are for wythout tellinge me you have no idea what bookes are for

Whoa, it’s December already??! Writers, did you have goals this year? How well are you doing on them as 2024 comes to a close? Personally I had many goals I didn’t quite achieve, although I managed some big ones. With the chaos this year threw at me, I’m happy with that.

Just finished reading Cascade Failure by L M Sagas lmsagas 🚀 GRAVITY LOST OUT NOW 🚀 today. If you’re in the market for a fun and fast paced space opera with great prose and engaging characters, you should 100% check it out. ✨💫🚀
