The fourteenth annual Women in SF&F Month continues with four new guest posts this week, starting tomorrow. Thank you so much to last week’s guests for an excellent first week!
The new guest posts will be going up on Monday–Thursday of this week, but before announcing the schedule, here are last week’s essays in case you missed any of them.
All guest posts from April 2025 can be found here, and last week’s guest posts were:
- “Let Your Stories Age Like a Fine Wine, Ladies” — Kamilah Cole (So Let Them Burn, This Ends in Embers) shared about feeling like it was too late to achieve her dream of becoming a published author just a few years ago.
- “The Allure of Lost Civilisations in SFF” — M. H. Ayinde (A Song of Legends Lost, “The Walls of Benin City“) wrote about worlds and worldbuilding through the lens of a trope she’s always found fascinating, including discussion of some lost civilisations from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Grandia, Castle in the Sky, and more.
There is also currently a book giveaway for One Level Down by Mary G. Thompson, a science fiction novella with a simulated world. This is a US-only giveaway where two winners will each receive a trade paperback copy, and it ends on April 18.
And there are most guest posts coming up, starting tomorrow! This week’s essays are by:
April 7: Roanne Lau (The Serpent Called Mercy)
April 8: T. Frohock (Miserere: An Autumn Tale, Los Nefilim)
April 9: Lucia Damisa (A Desert of Bleeding Sand)
April 10: Antonia Hodgson (The Raven Scholar)
