It’s a huge honor to have two pieces in Orca Literary’s literary-speculative issue, and it’s as surreal as it is incredible to see me, as me, in a print mag for the first time. 😊 Huge thanks to everyone at Orca for seeing something in my work!

Forever thanks to Red at Alien Buddha Press for picking this up, to Harmony Dimmig for reading this as I was writing it, for keeping me going and for designing this gorgeous cover, to Myna Chang and Chloe N. Clark for the best blurbs I could ever ask for, to all the mags who accepted parts of this before it was something you could hold in your hands Sledgehammer Lit, Bullshit Lit, Orca Literary, Cult of Clio, Idle Ink, The Literary Canteen, AntipodeanSF, Roi Fainéant Press, The Bureau Dispatch, Vast Chasm, and to all of you who read this:
Thank you. 💛❤
Holy shit, man. I never thought I’d make it past 25, so to be here, almost 32, and holding my third book in my hands feels pretty fucking good. Click here if you want an inscribed copy + stickers. Also: stay tuned for a surprise tomorrow!
I’ve got a story in here that I really love, and I hope you’ll love it too. ❤ Side note: the editors at Vast Chasm are some of the kindest folks I’ve ever worked with in the community. Can’t thank them enough! 😊
Beyond honored to share this blurb for Afterglow from Chloe N. Clark. Collective Gravities is one of my favorite books to come out in the last few years, so thrilled is an understatement.
Super stoked to see this go live! Here’s my post-literate experimental Afterglow thing where half the words are made up and the spelling doesn’t matter. Thanks be to Bullshit Lit for appreciating my bullshit! 🤘
I’m about to devour this volume, but first I want to thank Jiksun Cheung for his incredible editorial work. Such an honor to be among the names published in Volume 2 of The Bureau Dispatch. Here’s the Afterglow piece I’m most proud of, a story in three parts: “May You / Live In / Interesting Times.”
Super stoked to have a story in here! It’s a kind of anarchic one from Afterglow, a piece with Wyfy in it called “Smoke in the Atlas Fear.” Many thanks to Anna and Julia for giving this such a great home!
It’s been a while since I’ve had two stories go live in one day! Huge thanks to Nuke at AntipodeanSF for picking up “Seeking Sounds.” When I got into Afterglow, I was worried about whether it could cut the mustard at established SFF mags, so it feels amazing to have a piece here.
Man, it’s a dream to see my name under these skulls. 💀💀💀 Here’s a very short + true story about a very chaotic recent move. Huge thanks to Dina L. Relles for seeing something in this sentence.
