Hey! This week there’s lots of great writing about reviews, then actual reviews of books, and a heap of awards commentary as we’re going to be in Peak Awards...

All of us at Tachyon are saddened by the loss of magnificent Jane Yolen. Her prescence will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to work with, befriend, meet, and/or read her abundant award winning works. There is quite literally only one Jane!

man I'm so lucky i get to work with the people I do. look at the cover for my short story collection!! LOOK AT THOSE LIL BIRD MONSTERS!! out 10/20 from tordotcom, cover by spencer fuller 💕 us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

I posted the text of my speech on my website. It's slightly different bc I adlibbed a lot and did some hand-edits at the last minute, but it's pretty close to what I actually said. nkjemisin.com/2026/06/text...

Jane was my neighbor and acquaintance, many years after being somebody whose books gave me great comfort and joy. She was kind, clever, welcoming, generous, and absolutely a badass and she will be very much missed.

Worldcon In Memoriam@wcinmemoriam.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Author Jane Yolen (b.1939) died on June 11. She wrote books and novels for all ages, including Briar Rose, How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?, and The Devil’s Arithmetic. Yolen won 2 Nebulas, a World Fantasy and was named Grand Master by SFPA, SFWA and World Fantasy. She served as SFWA President.
