The Ignyte Awards
Polymarket offered me enough money to pay my rent for ten months for one post in my newsletter and I turned it down because I enjoy being able to sleep at night.
Also such an awesome shortlist! I feel like Ryu Ando always goes under the radar, and I am so happy to see him on here!!
Y'ALL tomorrow I get to do a **cover reveal** for Decolonial Dreamwork and I know we're not usually into covers for academic books but this one is academic + creative nonfiction + SFF + dreams and the cover is 🔥🔥🔥
Oh yay!!! Super cool shortlist!!
Especially happy to see @emelkrishnan.bsky.social 's "Icthyosis" - which we're also reprinting in We're Here: The Best Queer Speculative Fiction 2025 I edited with @cypayseur.bsky.social (published by @neonhemlock.bsky.social)
