The fifteenth annual Women in SF&F Month continues with three new guest posts this week, starting tomorrow with an essay and book giveaway (with one print copy for a US reader and one digital copy for someone outside the US). Thank you so much to last week’s guests for a wonderful start to the month!
The new guest posts will be going up on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week, but before announcing the upcoming schedule, here are last week’s essays in case you missed any of them.
All guest posts from April 2026 can be found here, and last week’s guest posts were:
- “Finding hope — writing in hard times, the ‘punk’, and envisioning better futures” — Lorraine Wilson (We Are All Ghosts in the Forest, The Salt Oracle) discussed the difficulty of being creative with everything going on in the world and shared some methods that have helped her continue to write and find the light.
- Elaine Ho (Cry, Voidbringer; “Harmony“) wrote about a question she explores in her dark political fantasy novel: “Why do post-colonial societies perpetuate the same crimes as their oppressors?”
And there are most guest posts coming up, starting with one accompanied by a book giveaway tomorrow! This week’s essays are by:
April 6: Samantha Mills (Rabbit Test and Other Stories, The Wings Upon Her Back)
April 8: Shay Kauwe (The Killing Spell)
April 10: Veronica G. Henry (The People’s Library, Bacchanal)
