SF/F/H Short Fiction by Women

Last month on the Carl Brandon Society blog I started listing short fiction written by authors of color month by month. I’d wanted to do a project like this for a long time because we’d done it on the SF Bookswap blog. However, the bookswap is on hiatus at the moment and we haven’t updated the short fiction lists in months and months. There are many reasons for this, and the big one is time and people power. (Going through every magazine every month looking for female authors takes a while and folks have jobs!)

Due to the difficulty in determining which authors are POC based on name alone, I decided that the best way to gather the data there was to have the authors and editors deliver the data to me. That way I would not have to guess and leave people out accidentally. Then the other day it struck me that I could do the same for women writers as well.

So now I’ve created this handy form that writers, editors or readers can fill out to alert me of short fiction published or upcoming. At the end of every month I will gather this data and list stories currently available both online and in print.

These lists will help us gather data for the FeministSF wiki as well. If you had a story published earlier this year, head over there and add it.
