Sent my first novella to betas, a form I could use for some ideas I've worked on before.
What are your fave novellas (defined as under 40k). I think A Christmas Carol and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde stand up. High Times in the Low Parliament, This is how you lose the Time War, River of Teeth, and Fish! (by Ida Keough) are def worth a read.
Length dilemma here

So the good news continues as my book, Where Rivers Go To Die, makes it to the #BSFA longlist for Best Collection, shortly after it became a finalist at the Philip K Dick Awards. Yay!
The BSFA this year is a very long list with lots of good books to discover and put on your reading list for 2024.

#WritersCoffeeClub 5Dec- What genre is your WIP?
It's a spooky historical detective mystery - 1880s London - and a fantasy set in a world rather like ours and a story about two women in a long term relationship and how that's under strain.
The story elements stack well I think.

FRIENDS. The omnibus of the first three books in Timothy Zahn's Dragonback series is on sale on Kindle today, and these are some of my favorite books. (But I already own two copies.)

Interesting discussion: I ran into a non SFF reader who seemed to believe it was obsessed with rules. What are they?
I have a strong view on this but what are these rules then? I am with Wells not Verne.

Finally #reading Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy. Consistently startled that it was published in 1976. Feels extremely relevant. So many things things touted as new ideas in contemporary #SFF--queer communities, #LandBack ideals, and centering marginalized perspectives--are all here and have existed woven into story form for nearly 50 years.

Humanborn is out now, but I have more pictures of Ireland in my collection, so let's keep celebrating. This is a picture of colorful doors common in Dublin which I mention in chapter 1 of my book. Taken in 2015.

Need a hug in a military SF wrapper?
I recommend KB Wagers's A PALE LIGHT IN THE BLACK and HOLD FAST THROUGH THE FIRE.
