Today I welcome Justin Mann author of “Black Insecurity at the End of the World.” Justin L. Mann is an assistant professor of English and African American Studies at Northwestern University. He has research and teaching interests in African American literature, Black feminist theory, Black speculative fiction, and security policy. His current book project, Breaking the World: Black Insecurity after the New World Order argues that Black speculative fictions are a critical but overlooked archive for understanding America's security ambitions since the Reagan Administration. Bringing works by Octavia E. Butler, Walter Mosley, Colson Whitehead, and N.K. Jemisin (among others) into conversation with “white papers” Breaking The World argues that Black speculation rejects the false promises of securitization by figuring insecurity as a central mode for making political and social worlds. In his recent article “Black Insecurity at the End of the World,” published in Oct by MELUS, Dr. Mann examines the racialization of disease in Colson Whitehead's zombie novel, Zone One, arguing that the novel offers different and distinct frames for understanding how disease maps onto logic of racial difference. Dr. Mann's work has also appeared in the journals Feminist Theory, Surveillance & Society, Feminist Studies, and elsewhere.
After learning from my guests that women wish their mothers taught them about two important topics: money and sex, I went on a quest of finding guests who do just that. In the last episode, we heard Dr. Mara Harvey, an advocate for financial literacy in girls and women. And in this episode, I'm excited to introduce sex and relationship coach specialized in women of faith, Octavia E. Vance. Octavia shares her American mom Betty's lessons on dealing with marital abuse and using these experiences to empower others, on second chances, and on empowering your children. Octavia talks about domestic violence, teaching our daughters about their bodies and sexuality, and turning our mothers' un-teachings into teachings.

Notes:These notes include affiliate links.In case you're unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, here is some information: https://nanowrimo.org/what-is-nanowrimo Both Fable and the Verbivore mention that there's a variety of ways to view and approach entering into a story. Here are some articles that we found helpful in preparation for this conversation:“How to Write a Good First Line” by Diane Callahan - Quotidian WriterWrite Up Pro “4 Types of Story Openings to Grab Your Reader”Writers Digest “10 Ways to Start Your Story Better”Reedsy Blog “How to Start a Story: 11 Tips From Our Editors”LA Screenwriter “3 Principles of Story Setups and Payoffs”Masterclass “Tips and Examples of In Medias Res in Writing”Writers Online UK - “10 Good Ways To Start a Story”Daily Writing Tips “20 Great Opening Lines to Inspire the Start of Your Story”The Verbivore referenced a quote from Stephen King's “On Writing”. That full quote is: “If there's a gun on the mantel in Act 1, it must go off in Act 3. The reverse is also true." It's an allusion to a dramatic principle called Chekhov's gun which speaks to story setups and payoffs. Here is some additional information: MasterClass “Writing 101: What Is Chekhov's Gun?

What's up, POP Squad!In this episode, I interview my good friend Aurelia, who I actually went to high school with. We have so much fun catching up and talking about her amazing business.Aurelia Edwards is the CEO and creative founder behind Nailstry. Nailstry makes shopping for press-on nails online a breeze. It is the first virtual fingernail sizing solution for press-on nails that is complemented and supported by a diverse marketplace of indie press-on nail designers. In 2018, she stumbled across the need for an easier way to purchase press-on nails. She was getting ready to attend an out-of-state wedding when she noticed that she did not have all the sizes needed to complete her manicure. This inconvenience prompted her to create a virtual sizing solution that simplified the overall online shopping experience. In addition to all things nails and nail art, Aurelia and her team strive to give back to the community by creating opportunities and empowering nail creatives to grow their businesses - specifically women of color entrepreneurs as over 75% of Nailstry's nail designers identify as BIPOC. They have created an inclusive space to give back to minority founders by providing assistance with technical projects and business development education. Aurelia earned her undergraduate degrees in Biology and Chemistry from Florida International University in Miami, Florida and her graduate degree in Cosmetic Science from Fairleigh University in Teaneck, New Jersey.

This week, we’re joined by Sarena Ulibarri, Editor-in-Chief of World Weaver Press and a science fiction writer whose works include Glass and Gardens and Biketopia, and Ed Finn, the Director of the Center for Science and Imagination at Arizona State University, to talk about how solarpunk can shape our understanding of climate change, social issues, and the future. They discuss the immense potential of storytelling in defining an achievable vision for a more sustainable world through a version of science fiction that offers a balance of realism and imagination. In fact, this imagination, Ulibarri and Finn argue, is one of our greatest tools; because issues such as climate change and various sociopolitical concepts have many solutions, applied imagination can help us explore the wide variety of potential solutions as an alternative to fatalism or denial. They also touch upon the unique optimism of solarpunk, particularly in how proposing a better future through the lens of fiction has the ability to excite and invigorate readers towards enacting change. They note that people’s innate desire to feel good means that we must create a new language for debating the immense changes coming our way. This kind of optimism might be niche now, but Solarpunk literature and culture models alternatives and recruits people who actively work to achieve them.

“The American landscape was once graced with resplendent public swimming pools, some big enough to hold thousands of swimmers at a time,” writes Heather McGhee in her new book, “The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together.” These pools were the pride of their communities, monuments to what public investment could do. But they were, in many places, whites-only. Then came the desegregation orders. The pools would need to be open to everyone. But these communities found a loophole. They could close them for everyone. Drain them. Fill them with concrete. Shutter their parks departments entirely. And so they did.It’s a shocking tale. But it’s too easily dismissed as yet one more story of America’s racist past. McGhee shows otherwise. Drained-pool politics are still with us today and shaping issues of far more consequence than pool access. Drained-pool politics — if “they” can also have it, then no one can — helps explain why America still doesn’t have a truly universal health care system, a child care system, a decent social safety net. McGhee, the former president of the think tank Demos, offers a devastating tour of American public policy, and she shows how drained-pool politics have led to less for everyone, not just their intended targets.I asked McGhee to join me for a discussion about drained-pool politics, the zero-sum stories at the heart of American policymaking, how people define and understand their political interests, and the path forward. This is, in my view, a hopeful book, and a hopeful conversation. There are so many issues where the trade-offs are real, and binding. But in this space, there are vast “solidarity dividends” just waiting for us, if we are willing to stand with, rather than against, each other.Recommendations: Parable of the Sower by Octavia E.

Taking a few minutes away from recording Page One In Review episodes, Charles Adrian talks about a particular kind of convalescent literature. More information and a transcript of this episode is at http://www.pageonepodcast.com/. “Unlike wizards, who like nothing better than a complicated hierarchy, witches don’t go in much for the structured approach to career progression. It’s up to each individual witch to take on a girl to hand the area over to when she dies. Witches are not by nature gregarious, at least with other witches, and they certainly don’t have leaders./Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders they didn’t have.” from Weird Sisters by Terry Pratchett. You can read about Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Series on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld The first Page One In Review episode, which is Page One 157, was recorded on the 18th of March, 2020.

Banks and the Xenogenesis trilogy by Octavia E. Butler (of which Imago is the third book).

Vicky and Joe lament Vicky's fashion choices for this episode: there's more than a hint of low-rent Axl Rose going on. Then they talk about dystopian futures and media manipulation. And finally - at last - they move onto how to tell your story. Because we all struggle to write about ourselves, right? In this episode, you'll get some interesting stats and some top tips about how to use your About page to your advantage. Key Takeaways: [4:45] Vicky has been reading Parable of the Talents and she had to put it down because what’s happening in the book is eerily similar to what’s happening in the world today! [7:55] When you watch the news, think about how it is being presented to you. [8:15] How do you write about yourself? [11:55] Why is it so hard to write about ourselves? [15:30] Think about why people are visiting your About page. [20:35] Does anybody really care about your company mission? [24:30] You don’t need to have a rags-to-riches story to succeed in business. [30:05] Write with your ideal customer in mind. Write your bio in a way that people will feel relieved you understand them.

n this week's episode, Vicky finds herself wildly unprepared to answer Joe's questions and crashes around Google trying to figure out where the phrase "purple prose" originated. After they get that out of the way, there's some genuinely useful information about how to write beautiful descriptions without getting in the way of the story. Key Takeaways: [5:30] Vicky now has a trapeze in her garden! [6:20] What is purple prose? [7:25] How do you write descriptions without being boring and pretentious? [11:15] We usually pay attention to the writing and not the narrative. The writing should be invisible. [15:45] What are some common problems when people try to write descriptively? [21:10] How would a director film this scene that you’re writing about? [22:25] Most of the time you don’t see characters brushing their teeth or washing their faces. [25:00] Read everything Terry Pratchett ever wrote. He’s a master describer. [28:10] Our brains don’t deal too well with abstract wording. [32:45] Vicky and Joe read your podcast reviews!

In recent weeks, we’ve returned to some of our favorite conversations with nonfiction authors including Ijeoma Oluo, Ibram X. Kendi and Verna Myers about race. But that isn’t the only type of written work that looks at and offers insight on the racial reckoning our nation is facing amid a pandemic. MPR News host Kerri Miller talked with two authors and the head of the National Book Foundation about what’s been on their reading list in terms of fiction, memoirs and poetry this year. Guests: Brit Bennett is one of the National Book Foundation’s 5 under 35 2016 honorees. Her first novel, “The Mothers,” was a bestseller and her latest novel is titled “The Vanishing Half.” Lisa Lucas is the executive director of the National Book Foundation. Kiese Laymon is the author of several works including his latest, “Heavy: An American Memoir.” Here’s what Bennett, Lucas and Laymon are reading: Novel: “The Glass Hotel” by Emily St. John Mandel Novel: “Actress” by Anne Enright Essay: “When the World Went Away, We Made a New One” by Leslie Jamison Poetry: The works of Wanda Coleman Nonfiction: “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” by Isabel Wilkerson Poetry: “Homie” by Danez Smith Nonfiction: “Are Prisons Obsolete?” by Angela Y.

Earlier this summer, the Mellon Foundation — the largest humanities philanthropy in the United States — announced it was shifting its mission to focus more on social justice. It backed up that announcement with a $5.3 million grant to fund a collection of books to be placed in 1,000 prisons and juvenile detention centers across all 50 states. The Million Book Project was dreamed up by poet and legal scholar Reginald Dwayne Betts. It intends to curate a capsule collection of 500 books — Betts calls them “freedom libraries” — that will include literature, history, poetry and social thought, with an emphasis on books by Black writers and thinkers. Thursday morning, MPR News host Kerri Miller spoke with Betts and Mellon Foundation president Elizabeth Alexander about the project and what they hope to accomplish. Here’s a list of books and authors suggested by Miller, listeners and our guests: Fiction: “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood; “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison; “The Round House” by Louise Erdrich; “Black Leopard, Red Wolf” (The Dark Star Trilogy) by Marlon James; “The Ox-Bow Incident” by Walter Van Tilburg Clark; “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown; “The Luminaries” by Eleanor Catton; “On the Road” by Cormac McCarthy; “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez; “Love in the Time of Cholera” by Gabriel García Márquez; “Hopscotch” by Julio Cortázar; “Peace From Broken Pieces” by Iyanla Vanzant; “My Ántonia” by Willa Cather; “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values” by Robert M.

Welcome to another episode of the Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions podcast, our weekly interview series. Our guest this week is Lisa E. Harris, whose new album with Nicole Mitchell is called EarthSeed. It was recorded live at Fullerton Hall at the Art Institute of Chicago and features the Black Earth Ensemble—an all-star collection of Chicago improvisers and free jazz artists—backing up the two composers. Presented alongside a gallery of artist Cauleen Smith’s Human_3.o Reading List, EarthSeed was inspired by the work of Octavia E. Butler and will be released June 22nd, on Butler’s birthday. It’s the third album from Mitchell to draw from Butler’s work. It also represents a return to the ideas of Butler for Lisa Harris. An interdisciplinary artist, composer, and activist from Houston, Texas, Harris had been at work on an opera called Lilith before even learning of Butler’s work—but says that learning the author’s pioneering science fiction opened her up to new worlds of thought.
This week Harmony and Maggie celebrate pride by reflecting on marginalized communities and the right for everyone to feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their own skin and identities. They explored two poems, "dear white America" by Danez Smith and "The Company You Keep: a Poem for my Family" by Vita E.

“For me, I believe that Black lives matter. That’s what I said. Anyone with a functioning brain understands that all lives matter. Anybody. But right now there is a portion of our community that is frustrated, and they are suffering, and they are hurting. So, as an empathetic Christian I’m gonna go and say I agree with the statement Black lives do matter. But I was glad some people disagreed with me, because I kept saying, do Black lives matter yes or no? yes but…I’m like there is no but. We disagree. Those are the same type of people that would have interrupted Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus would have been like, blessed are the poor…no Jesus blessed are all people. Since when does highlighting one issue disparage another? Are we not secure enough to be able to sit here and go issue by issue and talk about one without disparaging another? Of course all lives matter, but it’s okay to say Black lives matter. What’s wrong with you? This is not rocket science. All lives matter. No kidding. That’s why Black lives matter, because until all lives matter equally, we need to focus on this.” -Carl Lentz, 2016 This is the most important episode I will ever release. I hope you approach it with an open heart. Just recently: George Floyd was murdered by a police officer while three other police officers stood by and did nothing. Breonna Taylor was in her home in the middle of the night when police broke in, unannounced, and shot her to death. Ahmaud Arbery was out for a run when two men chased him and shot him to death. Christian Cooper was bird watching in Central Park when a woman threatened to call the police and say that an African American man was threatening her life. He was not. It doesn’t stop there. The following Black men and women have been murdered by police: Philando Castile Atatiana Jefferson Eric Reason Natasha McKenna Botham Jean Walter Scott Bettie Jones Tamir Rice Michael Brown Dominique Clayton Eric Garner Trayvon Martin Tanisha Anderson Sandra Bland Freddie Gray THESE ARE JUST THE NAMES WE KNOW. Do you know how hard it is to find a full list of Black people who have been murdered at the hands of police brutality? Here’s a brief history of the Black lives lost in our country over the past few years along with the #Blacklivesmatter gaining momentum: · 2013: #Blacklivesmatter first appears on twitter · 7/17/14: Eric Garner dies in NY after being arrested · 8/9/14: Michael Brown is killed during an encounter with police officer in Ferguson, MO. · 11/22/14: Tamir Rice is killed by police in Cleveland while playing with a toy gun · 11/24/14: Announcement that there will be no indictment in Michael Brown case · 4/19/15: Freddie Gray dies in Baltimore while in police custody · 6/17/15: Charleston church shooting kills 9 people · 7/13/15: Sandra Bland is found hung in Texas jail cell STATS · 99% of killings by police from 2013-2019 have not resulted in officers being charged with crime. · Unarmed Black people were killed by police at 5x the rate of unarmed white people in 2015. · Police killed at least 104 unarmed Black people in 2015— nearly 2x a week. · 1 in 3 young Black men will be incarcerated in their life (compared to 1 in 17 white men). · 13TH DOC: “The film’s premise is that while the 13th Amendment to the Constitution eliminated slavery and involuntary servitude, it in effect had an unintentional loophole that asserted “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.”” · Black people make up 6.5% of the American population but make up 40.2% of the prison population. · Our prison population went from less than 200k in 1970 to 2.3m today. This is what we refer to when we talk about mass incarceration. THERE ARE PROVEN STRATEGIES that significantly reduce police killings, but very few Police Departments have adopted them. These are: Requirements that officers use all means other than shooting (decreases death by 25%) Requires all use of force be reported (decreases death by 25%) Bans chokeholds + strangleholds (decreases death by 22%) Has use of force continuum (decreases death by 19%) Requires de-escalation (decreases death by 15%) Duty to intervene if another officer uses excessive force (decreases death by 9%) Restricts shooting at moving vehicles (decreases death by 8%) Requires warning before shooting (decreases death by 5%) *You can call your local representatives and demand these 8 things be instituted with your local law enforcement. Want to learn more? Click here: https://8cantwait.org WHY DO BLACK LIVES MATTER? My Personal Reckoning: 2016 · I didn’t realize my own white privilege for a long time. I felt better than the other white people when it came to bias and racism because I grew up in a broken home filled with drugs, addiction, affairs, and even lived in a town where I was a minority. The reality is I have loved Black culture for most of my life, but I have done very little to be an advocate for justice for my Black brothers and sisters. I’m so sorry for this. · I received a DM from a Black woman who encouraged me to diversify who I was interviewing on The Refined Woman. Almost all of my collaborations and interviews for the first few years of The Refined Woman were with white women. I was a white girl blogger. · In 2016 I also wrote an All Lives Matter blog post that fortunately never went live. I didn’t understand what it meant that Black Lives Matter. As a Christian I assumed didn’t all lives matter? Thank God I have a team, and thank God I didn’t go live with that painful article. I was very, very wrong. Black Lives Matter, and here’s why: Jesus was a 1st Century Palestinian Jewish man. He had brown skin and was hated by the religious, and beaten and killed by law enforcement. If he was alive today in America, he’d be a minority immigrant who probably wouldn’t step foot inside white evangelical churches except to flip over tables. The Western Evangelical Church in America has become a religion for rich, advantaged, and privileged white people—which is the exact opposite of the roots of Christianity and the life of Jesus. Jesus hung out with the oppressed people of society, those ostracized, those who didn’t feel safe in the church—those who were judged and cast off. He fought for justice, restored dignity and humanity from the woman at the well, woman caught in adultery, to touching people with contagious diseases and engaging with people outside of the Jewish law which would have made him unclean in Jewish circles. But he didn’t care, because He was on a mission to do God’s work. Friend, if you are a follower of Jesus and do not have a heart for justice, racial reconciliation and to see the systemic walls, pillars, and foundations of racism in our country to be dismantled, you are out of alignment with the heart of God. Who does Jesus care about? - Prodigal Son returns: the jealous brother instead of the father rejoicing over the return + safety of his son. But don’t I matter—OF COURSE YOU MATTER, BUT YOUR BROTHER WAS LOST + NOW IS FOUND. - Luke 15: Jesus leaves the 99 to go after the one sheep. He cares about the individual. It’s time to get back in touch with the heart of Jesus. Do all lives matter? YES. But until Black lives matter—we better go after that. Jesus went after the one. What can you do? #1: Acknowledge If we don’t heal our past, it will follow us. And ours is HAUNTING US. -Kat Harris 1. Until we acknowledge the experience of what it means to be a Black person in America there is no chance at healing. 2. When someone dies, you show up. 3. “I don’t know the full story.” You don’t have to. 4. “People are just reposting for attention…not for the right reasons.” You don’t know their hearts. And so what? Does that mean you get to stay silent? 5. Here’s what’s true: in 1619 was when the first wave of Black people were kidnapped from Africa to become slaves in Jamestown. July 4th isn’t a celebration of independence for Black people. They weren’t free when those freedom bells rang. America was built on the backs of terrorism and genocide and slavery of Black people, people of color and indigenous people. 6. If we don’t heal our past, it will follow us. And ours is HAUNTING US. 7. We have to look back before we can move forward. 8. One of the first things we can do is acknowledge our white privilege. What is white privilege and how do you know if you have it? Go through these statements. #2: Get Curious I STARTED NOTICING + GETTING CURIOUS: · Why did I have so few Black friends? · Why were there some Black people and people of color at my church but none on staff or leadership or in the decision-making rooms? · I changed churches because I wanted to be a part of a community with women in leadership, then I noticed almost every week at church I could count on one hand the number of Black people at my church…why? · Why were influential Black Christian people like Lecrae + Andre Henry leaving the church? · How come at my favorite salad place every single person in line buying was white and all the people working in the buffet are Black? · How come the expensive gym I had a membership to had mostly white members, and yet almost every single one of the people working there from front desk to maintenance are Black? · This started making me very uncomfortable. I didn’t know what to do—so I’d talk with my friends about it…but really I didn’t do much about it. I deeply regret this. #3: PRAY + REPENT: · When have you been complicit, silent, and chosen ignorance out of comfort and convenience? Write it down, say it out loud, pray, and repent. · Psalm 13 is great to walk through lament. · Psalm 51 is great to walk through repentance. #4: ACTIVATE: · Sign petitions for racial justice. change.org is a great start for this! · Talk with friends and family. · When you see racism, call it out. · Post on your platforms. · Call your local representatives and demand justice. · Support Black-owned businesses. · Donate to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. · Go to https://www.grassrootslaw.org to find out how you can support policing and justice in America. · Read this: 75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice by Corinne Shutack #5: ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT: · Equal Justice Initiative (Bryan Stevenson) · Be the Bridge (Latasha Morrison) and her wonderful resource page, “Where Do I Start?” · WhereChangeStarted.com has a great anti-racism starter kit · The Innocence Project · To help pay bail for protestors in NYC, money can be Venmo’ed to @bailoutnycmay. · City-specific bailouts. · ACLU · NAACP · UNCF #6: READ: “Stop asking us to give you books. Stop asking us to do research. Listen y’all were able to do mathematic equations through some Black women and then your own stuff and to be able to go to the moon, and put a flag in it and dance around and do the west coast strut. How in the world can you go from the earth to the moon and you can’t do research on the racial history that we need to fight in this country. I don’t want to be traumatized by teaching you history. I want you to grow up in your spiritual maturity, and grow up in your faith, and go on the sanctifying journey of overriding the patriotic way that we’ve learned history in America.” - Pastor Eric Mason 1.

Zwei Monate Kontaktsperre und soziale Isolation liegen hinter uns. Dank neuer Lockerungsmaßnahmen der Bundesregierung wittert man aber, es wird mit Nachdruck an der Rückkehr zur sogenannten Normalität gearbeitet. Aber was heißt eigentlich "back to normal" und wollen wir das überhaupt? Die SPEX-Redaktion diskutiert socially distanced an fünf Rechnern zwischen Berlin, Hamburg und der südwestdeutschen Provinz über linke Utopien, mangelnde Vorstellungskraft und die große Frage nach dem Wie-geht's-weiter. Natürlich ohne Masterplan, aber mit ein paar Ideen und Gedanken zur Zukunft. Und der Antwort auf die Frage, warum man in diesen Tagen statt zu Camus' Die Pest lieber zu den Science-Fiction-Geschichten von Octavia E. Buter greifen sollte. Autorin Berit Glanz (Pixeltänzer, 2019) hingegen beweist im "Gedanken zur Zeit", dass sie sehr wohl, trotz Corona-Maßnahmen am Strand und im Sand sitzen kann. Und ihr könnt es auch.

This week we talk about Netflix's Spike Lee-produced "See You Yesterday," which combines the time-travel goofiness of "Back to the Future" with the social criticism of "Boys N the Hood" (RIP, John Singleton).Does it work? We're a little divided. We appreciate that the protagonist is a young, black and female scientist (Eden-Duncan Smith). We love seeing Marty McFly himself, Michael J. Fox, reading Octavia E. Butler's time-travel classic "Kindred."But the question is how well the film melds silliness with seriousness. We have a good honest discussion, and ultimately we're glad this story exists in the world. We hope you enjoy it.ALSO: Follow @thelowkeypod on Instagram! We see you, Cousin Sara.

How can we make Culture rather than Art? Is the sky a black velvet blanket? Tai Snaith's podcast series returns with 13 more conversations with mid-career and emerging women and non-binary artists whom she admires. In episode one, Tai and Lucreccia Quintanilla discuss how having a punk attitude and how not necessarily wanting to fit in can be a good thing. Lucreccia talks about a process of finding ‘her people’ and then simply asking ‘what do we wanna do?’ as a way to begin making work. Together they share their love of the power of the dance floor and the mystery of the conch.

Since their establishment, the Nebula Awards have proven a trusty guide to what the next generation will consider a classic. Take for example, the inaugural award for Best Novel, which went to Frank Herbert for Dune in 1965. Dune‘s impact can be measured in countless ways–not only in the loyalty of critics and fans (who have left in excess of half a million ratings on Goodreads) but in the proliferation of sequels, prequels, movies, TV shows, games, and more. The 2015 Best Novel winner, Naomi Novik (for Uprooted), joins the ranks of science fiction and fantasy’s greatest authors, including Samuel R. Delany, Ursula K. Le Guin, Larry Niven, Isaac Asimov, Connie Willis, William Gibson, Octavia E. Butler, Kim Stanley Robinson and many more. But the Nebulas, voted on by the members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, recognize more than novels. Award categories include stories, poems, and dramatic presentation. The abundance of categories and nominees posed a challenge for Julie E. Czerneda, the editor of the newly-released Nebula Awards Showcase 2017 (Pyr, 2017), which anthologizes the winners of the 2015 awards. Although Czerneda had free reign to decide what to include in the anthology, she still had to fit everything within a strict word count. Fortunately, Czerneda knows a thing or two about getting a book to print. As an accomplished anthology editor and author–her ninth and final novel in The Clan Chronicles series, To Guard Against the Dark, is out this month–Czerneda relished the freedom she had as editor of the showcase. Every editor gets to put their stamp on it. “I’m the first one to put in novel excerpts for all the novels nominated,” Czerneda says. Another first for the current anthology: the winners in all the major categories are women. In addition to Novik for Best Novel, Alyssa Wong won for Best Short Story, Sarah Pinsker for Best Novelette, Nnedi Okorafor for Best Novella, and Fran Wilde received the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy. The Damon Knight Grant Master, which recognizes a distinguished career, was C.J. Cherryh. This year’s editor, of course, is also a woman. For Czerneda, editing the showcase allowed her to celebrate a field to which she herself has made significant contributions. The publication of her new book, To Guard Against the Dark, marked to the exact day the launching of her career as a writer in 1987 with the publication of A Thousand Words for Stranger. As it turned out, A Thousand Words became the first book in The Clan Chronicles. “Nine books, 1.6 million words later, I’m finishing it,” Czerneda says. “I like to leave possibilities, but I like to get to a good ending.” Rob Wolf is the author of The Alternate Universe and The Escape. He worked for many years as a journalist, writing on a wide range of topics from science to justice reform, and now serves as director of communications for a think tank in New York City.
