POC Short Fiction in Anthologies, Collections and Indie Pubs

With this post I’m all caught up with the short fiction published through July 2009 that I’m aware of. I only separated out anthologies, collections and etc. this time around to make my job a bit easier. Going forward, I’ll list all the short fiction in a month together.

Collections

Anthologies

Other

And there we have it. Caught up to July 2009. Now, going forward, if you’d like to alert me of short fiction coming out in an anthology, magazine, or as its own volume, please let me know by filling out this form.

I also encourage any POC who’s had short fiction published in 2009 or 2008 to please go to the Carl Brandon Society wiki and add your fiction. We’re trying to create a comprehensive list but we’ll need help from the community. Also, you don’t have to add only your own fiction. If you know an author is POC and read a story b them, check and see if it’s on the wiki. If you’re an editor, please take part, too.

Omnivoracious Interview with K. Tempest Bradford

Jeff Vandermeer interviewed me for Amazon’s Omnivoracious blog to talk about the Clarion West Write-a-thon. The WaT is still going on, by the way. You still have time to sponsor a writer.

Here’s a bit from the interview:

Amazon.com: How do you think the SF/fantasy field will be different in a decade?

K. Tempest Bradford: I hope that there will be a lot more writers of color on the shelves. I would be great if the major publishing houses stepped it up a bit in this regard, but I suspect that the trend of de-centralization will make it so that this won’t be a pre-condition…It’s been said for many years that eBooks will replace paper books “any day now” and yet we’ve not had this amazing revolution. However, I do think we’re really close…though I don’t see paper books going away as fast as CDs seem to be. Though the major publishers and editors in the field may not be up to embracing this trend and the implications, SF readers are all too ready to do so. I would love to see authors taking cues from musicians in the way they get their work out there. Of course it won’t ever work exactly the same way, but I’m hoping we’ll be able to erase some of the old stigmas and prejudices attached to non-mainstream and currently accepted modes of publishing.

January and February Short Fiction

I know I promised this last week, sorry! With this post I’m now done listing short fiction from magazines. My next task is to list short fiction published in anthologies and probably also individually published short fiction. Now that I’m all caught up it won’t take me so long to do this each month 🙂

January

  • Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast by Eugie Foster in Interzone

February

As I mentioned, the stories I list here will also go up on the Carl Brandon wiki when I have the time. However, you don’t need to wait for me — add them yourself! If I’ve missed any 2009 stories by POC, please add them to the wiki.

Also, be sure to check out March/April and May/June/July as I’ve added new listings.

And finally: we’ve fixed the issue where individual posts could not be linked to. Thanks to everyone who pointed it out and helped us resolve it!
