Sneaking this announcement out before the weekend: We are pleased to announce the ToC and share the cover for We're Here: The Best Queer Speculative Fiction 2025! www.neonhemlock.com/news/cover-r...

Writing Is not about any one submission window, Or agent or award. It's not even about a specific work. Writing is a business of opportunities. One opportunity passes, more always appear. Whatever just happened, you don't know what's coming; or what you'll create in the future.
