I'll likely nuke this account soon, or keep it just for updates and chat with a couple buds. Find me on the bluer place at: mariocoelho.bsky.social
We're ESPECIALLY open to writers who work normal working class jobs, are out of work, or can't work cos of disabilities. Too much short fiction is written by the professional managerial class and caters to centrist liberal sensibilities. We've really got to change it man.
Reading author bios in the big SFF magazines, I'm always struck by how many of them are engineers and data scientists who went to expensive writing workshops. We should be publishing more stories by call centre workers and bartenders and guys who work in the beer bottling factory
Well, I wasn't expecting this but I'm being let go from my day job. If anyone has tips/opps - I would deeply appreciate it. I have a background in writing, editing, project management, client/customer relations, and managerial experience. Please DM! (Specific indus below)
Apropos of dipshits, what would the best month be for a Nanowrimo alternative, in your opinion?
I'm ESL and grew up broke, plus a few other serious disadvantages I don't share publicly. Gtfo with the ableism and classism. If you use AI, you're not a writer. This isn't even gatekeeping. If you ask an LLM to generate text for you, the LLM is the writer, not you.

Worldcon was a lot of fun. I loved everybody I met except for this one person. Are you that one person? MAYBE
Heads that I'm attending the first day of Worldcon on zero hours of sleep. If I say something stupid, I probably did mean it, but wouldn't say it under normal circumstances.
Chuffed to announce my cli-fi story, 'We Will Not Dream of Corals', will appear in @ReckoningMag It's not a happy story, but billionaires die. You'll love it.
Me as a non-native English speaker raised by US movie subtitles and videogames, while learning UK English at school: 🫠 I wish I could write in a mix of both. IT WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER.
This is going to blow some minds so bear with me… UK authors DO exist. And this is where it gets mental… our original English differs from US English! I’m going to go pass out
ok I know it's getting silly now but last one, I promise: so THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS is! also! nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel. this has been a bizarre month and I have expired vajra.me/2024/03/29/the…
Gatekeepers who are overly prescriptive are impoverishing literature by reducing every single story down to the same predictable beats, every character down to the same agency-driven arc, every sentence down to the same pared down active form. It’s terrible for diversity
the demand for novelistic character agency is a fairly recent (& very western, colonial) one. i write characters who are queer, who are living under colonial rule, who work together in community. there isn't 1 hero. they have wants & needs, but, alone, their *agency* is limited
Fully supported. Working with David and Rebellion was the best experience I've had in the industry.

Fourth stretch goal UNLOCKED! 🔓 This means the book will include a custom interior illustration of Rednow at one of his most vulnerable moments. Back the campaign and we'll unlock more stretch goals! kickstarter.com/projects/joaos…
Third stretch goal UNLOCKED! 🔓 Backers will now receive an A4 print of a brand new colour map by Shepengul, who will also be included at the start of the book in black-and-white.
REDSIGHT👁️🩸 releases today in the US and Thursday Feb. 29th in the UK ❤️ This has been such a long journey. I remember writing this book in my apartment until 2 AM every night and having no sleep for two months. Then I just kept the book on my computer for months
It's insane to me that the Hugo admins removed hundreds, perhaps thousands of valid, legal, nominating ballots just because they had Chinese-language nominees. Anglo-centrism is already massive in this community, and we play by the rules of the hegemons, but this just shows that
"Based on this information, I cannot consider myself a Hugo winner and will not be citing the 2023 award result in my biographical details, or on this site." Adrian Tchaikovsky is a true chad. Source: adriantchaikovsky.com
"Appalling as it is, the choice to screen English-language nominees for ideological compatibility may, in fact, be a sideshow to the real scandal, which is that hundreds of Chinese voters have been disenfranchised."
Respect to @samtasticbooks The Hugos apparently excluding Chinese-language novels is even worse than the other censorship shenanigans. Really hammers home the idea that it's an award by Anglo authors, to Anglo authors. Anglocon, not Worldcon, I guess. samtasticbooks.com/2024/02/17/rab…
