August 2009 Short Fiction

This month’s list is very short, which makes me think I must be missing some stories. So if you’re a person of color and had a speculative fiction story published in August, please say so in comments. Also, please list your story on the Carl Brandon wiki (where everyone can go to see stories by POC pubbed in 2009 and in 2008). If you’ve got a story coming out in September or after that, please go to this form and let me know. It’s quick and easy — editors are welcome to fill it out as well!

Pimp My Airship by Maurice Broaddus — Apex Magazine
Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast by Eugie Foster (reprint) — Apex Magazine
Charms by Shweta Narayan — Strange Horizons
Enmity by K. Tempest Bradford (technically from May, but the story is now offered for free online)

Join science fiction, fantasy, and horror authors Linda D. Addison, K. Tempest Bradford, N. K. Jemisin, and Alaya Dawn Johnson for a reading and discussion on women of color in speculative fiction.

Far from being indifferent to the genre, people of color are creating and consuming SF literature and media more than ever. Come hear some of the best new and award-winning speculative voices of color writing today.

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

Tides From The New Worlds by Tobias S. Buckell; Wyrm Publishing
Returning My Sister’s Face: And Other Far Eastern Tales of Whimsy and Malice by Eugie Foster; Norilana Press

Anthologies

Hooves and the Hovel of Abdel Jameela by Saladin Ahmed in Clockwork Phoenix 2
Different Day by K. Tempest Bradford in Federations
Running on Two Legs by Eugie Foster in The Fleas They Carried: Animal Aid Anthology
Swanwatch by Yoon Ha Lee in Federations
Like They Always Been Free by Georgina Li in Federations

Other

Devil’s Marionette by Maurice Broaddus (novella); Shroud Publishing

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.
