I recently got news that my story “Tío Gilberto and the Twenty-Seven Ghosts” will be reprinted in next year’s Wilde Stories, an annual year’s best anthology of LGBT speculative literature. The series is published by Lethe Press, an independent press publishing all sorts of stuff at the fun nexus of the queer and the speculative. This year’s edition of Wilde Stories is out now and features cool queer science fiction and fantasy stories by Lee Thomas, Hal Duncan, and others. The Best Gay Stories series is also worth checking out (though not exclusively speculative), with fiction by Richard Bowes, David Levithan, and others.
Congratulations! It’s exciting that you’re work will be published. I’d love to see my words in print one day 🙂
Thanks, Kaitlin! I got dozens of rejections before I sold my first story, so I know how long the road can feel to finally seeing one’s work in print. 🙂
