AI fraud nearly derailed our next anthology. Today we’re talking about what went down, the things we missed, and publishing the report we wish we’d had when it happened. Read all about it on our new blog, and download the full report:

To clarify for those who aren't familiar—Ingram is a distributor that works with most bookstores and libraries, so you can still find our books pretty much anywhere! We're just not selling them directly through our website right now.

Our anthologies IT GETS EVEN BETTER: STORIES OF QUEER POSSIBILITY and XENOCULTIVARS: STORIES OF QUEER GROWTH exist entirely to uplift and affirm queer readers and communities. We're not doing direct sales anymore, but they're both available through Ingram! speculativelyqueer.com

I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories. If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word? Thank you!
