Author Interviews

Angel returns with hope for our trans readers, detailed poetry processes, updates on the highs and lows of life, and fifty-five poetry recommendations that inspired them to write and hungrily read speculative poetry.

Vincent Endwell discusses their recently published Radon piece, as well as their experience as a multidisciplinary artist–of poetry, music, webcomics, and more–and its impact on their writing.

Eleanor talks about creative inspiration, the impetus of her Radon story, mixing bleakness and beauty, writing in a fragmented structure, and the perfect picnic.

Lex joins us again and tells what about short fiction keeps her coming back, latest writing successes, difficulty of querying a multi-viewpoint fantasy novel, and her work on a novel-length sequel to her Issue 4 story.

Jay Caselberg sends some thoughts from Germany: the rules of the publishing industry, pen names, short fiction trends, and how the medium might change the process.

Leo shares valuable advice for writers seeking first-time publication, the epistolary form in fiction, loving the little guy, deciding on happy versus horrific story endings, and their ongoing anarcho-absurdism agenda.
