Alongside my team of 40+, I am delighted to be a finalist for the Ignyte Community Award 🔥
Many moons ago, three gender-non-conforming people founded this space—and in the decade since, 100s of people across intersections have volunteered and published with us.
We host the community; they are it.
Get a peek into the behind-the-scenes of our editorial process! With the submissions behind-the-scenes update from @andregeleynse.com from May 14, you can see the whole life cycle of a T&F story
THE FINAL DAY
We're actually so close to year 6, we're already now at $11.4k, LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN
That 10k mark is awfully close 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
for years, I admired from afar as @augursociety.bsky.social transformed the sff spaces I knew for the better with dedication and enthusiasm. since joining, it's been an immense gift to get to learn from and grow with this (enormous!) team.
congrats to all the fellow nominees making waves 🌊
All the choices I didn't make. All the things I lost and spent and wasted. I can give them back to the world. To the lives that haven't been lived yet. That will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live, the love I loved, the breath I breathed.
@suntorya.bsky.social is such an insightful, thoughtful editor - I highly recommend nabbing one of her edit kickstarter prizes (only a few left!) and supporting diverse voices in fantasy lit while you're at it
Editorial can be a bit of an obscure process! Here’s a peek at how our team approaches each story with care, intention, and collaboration.
I published some of my thoughts on the 2026 Nebulas and the state of global SFF!
