Sale: The Deepest Rift

[ashnistrike]

To Tor.com, and due out early next year.  Aliens, AIs, and academic politics.

...and that actually basically clears out the short stuff queue, except for the lesbian steampunk mad science epistolary story.  The entire genre should be embarrassed that there aren't more markets that are obvious targets for a 2700-word lesbian steampunk mad science epistolary story.  In any case, I must write more shorts, but not until after I finish the novel.

Thanks for the suggestion--I'll give it a try! I've always been put off by their request for a "literary approach"--I'm not against literary approaches but I've always sort of taken it as a matter of faith that I haven't got one. But possibly I'm defining the term too narrowly.

I certainly don't have what I would call a "literary approach" -- I think of that as Kelly Link-type stuff. Which is not much like what BCS publishes. I would describe their focus as being on richly imagined worlds, more than anything else. I've seen way more cool settings there than in most of the other markets around these days.
