The second week of Women in SF&F Month posts will be starting tomorrow. In case you have missed the previous posts, this month is dedicated to highlighting women who are writing and reading/reviewing science fiction and fantasy after some recent discussion about review coverage for women and female bloggers. A wrap-up of week one and a book giveaway are here if you missed it. Guests for the second week are: Janice from Janicu’s Book Blog (also on Livejournal) Jessica from […]

Today I’m thrilled to have a wonderful message on how we can support women writing science fiction from the fantastic Elizabeth Bear! She is extremely prolific and has written a lot of books that fall under various categories of both science fiction and fantasy. I’ve enjoyed every single one I’ve read, and her Edda of Burdens trilogy is among my favorite series for its beautiful writing and handling of myths. Since I love Elizabeth Bear’s books so much that I […]

Today’s guest is Kristin, who runs the wonderful blog My Bookish Ways!

She covers books from a wide variety of genres, including urban fantasy, horror, science fiction, fantasy, suspense, and historical fiction. Right now she has a giveaway for a copy of the new […]

Today I’m pleased to have a guest post from Jessica of Read React Review!  Although she doesn’t talk much about science fiction and fantasy on her blog, I have known her for many years and very much respect what she has to say on any number of issues, including ideas involving women and gender in fiction.  As such, she was one of the first people I thought to invite this month and now she is kicking things off with the […]

It’s officially April, which means Women in SF&F Month is here with guest posts beginning tomorrow. There probably won’t be one every single day this month, but it should be close to every day and I’m hoping to fill in some of the gaps with reviews of some fantasy and science fiction books written by women. In case you missed my previous post about it linked to above, this month is dedicated to highlighting the women who are writing and […]
