Kaleidoscope edges closer to production

It didn’t seem that long ago that I helped fund this project but its edging closer and TOR reveals that it should be coming out some time in August. We have a stunning and entirely appropriate cover fro the talented Amanda Rainey and thanks to the editors the TOC has been released.

Diversity in Specultive Fiction – more than lip service

Earlier this week I reviewed the wonderful We See a Different Frontier and I mentioned that it was one of those books that you really need to read if you are paying more than mere lip service to the concept of diversity. So when Twelfth Planet Press gears itself up to provide us with diverse YA Fantasy and they convince Julia Rios to co-edit you know you are in for something special.

So go on pledge, lets get this thing off the ground.

And authors who feel they don’t get support for diverse stories they have already received original stories from Sofia Samatar, Ken Liu, Vylar Kaftan, and Jim Hines. But they want yours too.
