Mostly doing logistical planning for SLF stuff this morning — we had a great panel yesterday with Lynne Marie Thomas and Jed Hartman (what do editors want?), well attended and lively discussion, yay! We’ll be editing that and have it up on our YouTube channel and site shortly. I’m prepping for the next panel we’re […]

Hey, friends. Quick note that we’re testing out game nights at the SLF — we did Among Us last week, and the next one is this Friday starting at 5 CST. I’ll be hosting an online game of Codenames. (Team-based word association game.) No need to know anything in advance; I’ll teach the game, which

Folks, I’m still hoping to write a longer post about all this, but let me just note that we’re hosting a free panel at the SLF today, 2 p.m. CST, where Benjamin Rosenbaum (author of The Unraveling and my podcast co-host) and I will talk about generating ideas for your fiction! It will be hopefully

We got 8 new members for the Speculative Literature Foundation! Woohoo! If we can keep up that pace, we might actually make it all the way to the 250 goal before the end of the month, although of course, it’s tricky, because FB algorithms mean that most people who’d be interested in this won’t actually

We are almost close to finalized on the SLF membership drive launching tomorrow — just a little more tweaking of the drive pages to go. Are y’all prepared? We’re going to build something EPIC. Very grateful to have a terrific team that did most of the work while I rested my aching head.

Hey, I’d love some help with panel brainstorming — as we develop our benefits for members at the SLF, we’re tentatively planning at the SLF to host panel discussions on Zoom every Saturday at 2 p.m. CST. (with co-writing beforehand for those who want to join in). We have a membership drive coming up in

NON-PROFIT REQUEST FOR HELP: Hey, folks. So we’d like to work on access at the SLF, and as part of that, we want to make sure that everything we do with audio / video is also available with a transcription. We have subtitles automatically provided on YouTube, but it’d be even better if we had

I admit, I’m feeling a little blue right now — I’ve just had to cancel the SLF’s Portolan Writing Project Kickstarter, after putting a tremendous amount of time and effort into promoting it over the last month. In the last hour, we’d gotten up to almost $5200 in pledges, with 95 backers, but we’d set
