Spring Publications!

I've had a very prolific spring.

This year began with the publication of another piece in my favorite humor mag, McSweeney's. That piece, I am proud to say, was the #1 trending post on the site throughout the month of March, and has only recently been unseated (currently sitting at #4). Shared by everyone from Harvard professors to Cory Doctorow (!) it may be my most-read piece ever, though I have absolutely no statistics to back that up.

In March, Hex Literary published The Office Siren, one of my favorite things I wrote last year. In this piece, (TW: Sexual Assault, Death) the 'office siren' takes revenge for her sexual exploitation in the workplace. Written in the bulleted form of office memos, this experimental piece has been making the rounds, and I'm so pleased to see it being enjoyed.

Then there's this little number:

The venerable Fusion Fragment published my story "Digital Love Spell - 78% Effective!" in Issue 27! This story won the Berlin Sci-Fi Film Fest in the Short Story category, was translated into German for Future Fictions Issue 8, and is generally a riot. The magazine is free to download, and I really hope you will.

Last up, Adventitious, the brand-new pro-paying sci-fi wundermag, bought my flash story "Madam Strzyga's Pagan Pest Control." Inspired by some time spent in Poland last year (as well as my recent obsession with everything Olga Tocarczuk has ever written) this short piece is about an exterminator of mythical creatures. I'm so excited to be in Adventitious, which in its first two issues has already published some absolute legends. In this issue I'm alongside Angela Liu, Jennifer Hudak, Ayida Shonibar, and so many more.

Here's the pitch:

Okay, I've had to resort to long-form posting because I've got so much coming out every month! I will have a whopping 3 (!) more stories published by June. Check out my links page to see what's on the horizon...
