@reckoningmag.bsky.socialReposted by @morganvl.bsky.socialMany deep, interconnected threads going on right now about the business of short fiction contracts from some very smart and generous folks. It's a great day to be an up-and-coming writer
@indrapramitdas.bsky.socialReposted by @morganvl.bsky.socialNot in India at the moment, but ✊ Queasy to watch the massive and all-encompassing state repression, but all strength to everyone pouring out onto the streets right now.
@antonhur.comReposted by @morganvl.bsky.social"OOH THEY'RE AN INDIE PUBLISHER" Mthrfkr do you know what PRH, HarperCollins, Hachette, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster—all of whom I've published multiple translations with—have never taken from me? MY TRANSLATOR COPYRIGHT.
@antonhur.comReposted by @morganvl.bsky.socialAs translators we really don't nakedly hate Europa Editions *enough*. They shouldn't get a cookie for publishing translations. Fcuk this publisher.
@vajra.meReposted by @morganvl.bsky.socialThis is pure bad faith from MRM—they are not new to this business and are perfectly aware this is all bullshit. These magazines essentially no longer exist: they were bought simply to use their reputations as a trap to suck IP out of writers and artists who don't know any better.

@ecatherine.comReposted by @morganvl.bsky.socialI can't thank any of you enough for showing up for me. 🙏 We're almost halfway there, whoa badger on a pear 🍐🦡🐾

@reactorsff.bsky.socialReposted by @morganvl.bsky.socialLatin American SFF has received a surge of interest over the last few years–a trend reflected in the number of excellent TV adaptations across genres.
@benfrancisco.bsky.social recommends 5 series inspired from Latinx genre classics, from The House of the Spirits to Like Water for Chocolate!
