Crowdfunding Links of the Week: Kaleidoscope (a Diverse YA Antho) & War Stories (a MilSF Antho)
If you haven’t backed these projects yet, you must do so right away.

If you know me, I love me some diversity in SF/F, so […]
Link of the Week: Aliette de Bodard on #DiversityinSFF and Writing About Other Cultures
If you don’t already follow Aliette de Bodard’s excellent blog, I recommend you do so immediately. When she’s not talking about her amazing writing, she’s usually talking about something equally fascinating. And that’s what she’s been up to today!
