Mieneke (A Fantastical Librarian) discussed the representation of mature women in fantasy and asked for some recommendations. There are a lot of great […]
Women in SF&F Month: Readers’ Recommendations Giveaway
For Women in SF&F Month 2013, Renay from Lady Business came up with the idea of compiling a list of recommended speculative fiction books by women. (You can read more about this project in a few different posts written by Renay: 2013, 2014, and 2015.) During that year’s event, she asked readers to submit up to 10 of their favorite SFF books by women to create a list of recommendations. The result was a list of over 800 individual books, […]
Women in SF&F Month: Nicole Peeler
Today’s guest is fantasy author Nicole Peeler! She is the author of the Jane True series, an urban fantasy set in Maine beginning with Tempest Rising. Jinn and Juice, her latest novel and the first book in a new urban fantasy series, was just released in paperback after an earlier digital release. I Knew I Wanted to be a Witch When I Grew Up Well…sort of. I actually knew I wanted to be Diana Tregarde. For those of you not […]
Women in SF&F Month: Tiara from The BiblioSanctum
Today’s guest is Tiara from The BiblioSanctum! She, Mogsy, and Wendy run an excellent blog—The BiblioSanctum is a great place for speculative fiction and graphic novel fans with lots of reviews, interviews, and discussions.

Before beginning, I’d like to say that this post is equal parts a […]

Women in SF&F Month: Mieneke from A Fantastical Librarian
Today’s guest is Mieneke from A Fantastical Librarian! This site is an excellent resource for speculative fiction fans, and clearly many others find it valuable as well: A Fantastical Librarian was nominated for a 2014 World Fantasy Award in the Non-professional Special Award category. It’s easy to see why given the great number of fantasy and science fiction book reviews and interviews with authors, bloggers, and editors. I especially enjoy the Blogger Query interview series in which Mieneke has conducted […]
