I’m especially interested in: - reviews / close readings of SFFH fiction and scholarship (new or old), by or about QPOC - evidenced analyses of the current SFFH publishing landscape, performed through a queer-of-color lens Seeking 1K - 3500 words and paying $0.05/word — take a chance! (2/2)

Anathema Magazine, the first iteration changed my writing career. They published "The Pull of the Herd" a story that had gone through years of rejections. This is the kind of venue that is doing the work of making sure queer BIPOC voices get heard when other places say: You're not relatable.

We're devastated to hear this & want to express our gratitude for all of the doors FIYAH has opened. They’ve been a steadfast champion of Black spec fic & an important part of this community. When they return, we'll be there to support and celebrate louder than ever. 💜

With FIYAH going on indefinite hiatus it's really fucking important we support the mags publishing POC. If you have the means, support the things you love or they will disappear. Everyone's probs sick as fuck of hearing it but a magazine for Black voices stopped publishing today, it isn't abstract.
