    Announcement: SPECULATIVE MASCULINITIES

    June 19, 2019 /

    I’ve had this on the site for a while, but I’m thrilled to say that the table of contents for Galli Books’ Speculative Masculinities has been officially released! And I’m in it! About the Anthology Repeatedly, in recent years, we have been told masculinity is in crisis; that men don’t have models of masculinity to emulate; and that in speculative fiction in particular, men are marginalised and cast out. Of course, we don’ believe that, living under the patriarchy as we all must… but perhaps we can put masculinity into crisis, force it to re-evaluate itself, with stories about alternative models of masculinity!

It was great to be able to share that with my friends from school. What could possibly be better than a day that dedicated to celebrating all the people that you love? Unfortunately, my feelings toward the holiday have gotten more complicated as I’ve gotten older. Read the full essay at Equally Wed!

    Open the Gates: A Call For Inclusivity in Romance Reviewing

    January 17, 2019 /

    Yesterday I had an article I worked on last summer published through VIDA, a magazine for Women in the Literary Arts. As you can guess by the title, it’s about romance reviewing – a topic I’m passionate about as a romance author and reviewer! When it comes to the book publishing industry, there are a lot of barriers to inclusivity and diversity. Editors and publishers sometimes claim that books by and about marginalized communities do not sell, and many refuse to give underrepresented authors a chance to even try and sell their work. Recently, however, many groups within book publishing have started to push back by tracking the field’s diversity…
