“I write fantasy because it's there. I have no other excuse for sitting down for several hours a day indulging my imagination.
Daydreaming. Thinking up imaginary people, impossible places. Imagination is the golden-eyed monster that never sleeps. It must be fed; it cannot be ignored.” Patricia A. McKillip

Also, speaking for BCS, we want your stories in your voice, not your voice run through a slop machine's editing or wording or grammar 'correction.' Your voice is unique. The slop machine's voice is a homogenization of everyone else's voice.

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.

NON-FICTION

Quote
When Le Guin talks about genre writers as “the realists of a larger reality” we surrender the power of that when we narrow our work to only depict one type of future. We have great power to restore alternate narratives, to re-broaden the range of imaginable futures.
