SmallPressBigStories - Luna Press Publishing

3/11/2022

 
It won't come as a surprise to anyone following this blog that I love small presses. This is where, I believe, are the most diverse, original, and bold SFF stories at the moment.
So I'm taking part in Runalong Womble's month of boosting small presses and along with RTing on Twitter some of my reviews, I'll also introduce you to some of my favourite publishers.
We start with Luna Press Publishing, a small press based in Scotland.

What is progressive short SF?

22/11/2021

The Future Fire is an online magazine I love reading because the short fiction in it is always of the best quality and often avoids the beaten track.

The editors, Valeria Vitale and Djibril Al-Ayad, currently have an open submission for an anthology and special issue whose theme is Noir progressive SF.

In this guest blog post, they explain what progressive short SF is to them, and the challenges of finding and writing Noir progressive SF. Because, after all and despite appearances, Noir is so very conservative, isn't it?
So, if you want to know more about this forthcoming issue, read on what Valeria and Djibril have to say!
