Five questions with AC Macklin
This week we talk to AC Macklin, author, LARPer, and organiser of the SF&F writing event Right on Paper. 1. You regularly post “Twitterature”, a story told in 140 characters or less. How do you come up with so many fresh but concise ideas? I outsource! Every so...
Five questions with G. V. Anderson
I had the immense pleasure of reading alongside G. V. Anderson at a recent Bristolcon Fringe, and following her World Fantasy Award-winning story 'Das Steingeschöpf’ was pretty tough. She's here to tell us a little about herself and her work and why you might like to...
Five questions with Jeannette Ng
