THE SEASON’S HOTTEST READS

5 speculative fiction conventions • These upcoming gatherings for genre lovers offer authors inspiration and community.

The Writer hosts its first-ever conference this fall

FIYAH • This quarterly publication seeks speculative fiction by and about Black people of the African Diaspora.

Calls for submissions

My father’s Quiet De Luxe typewriter • Chicano stories that the world will never read.

Broadening the Bookshelves • This month, we’re focusing on deaf literature.

Talk to the Practitioner: Catalleya Storm • Catalleya Storm is a writer and activist. I found them through a website called Hearing Like Me, a lifestyle web site for deaf and hard-of-hearing (HOH) individuals, where they pen articles about culture, and that led me to Storm’s YouTube feed, where they posted regular videos about writing and activism.

The Nightstand • Writer Sara Nović’s sophomore novel, True Biz, released this year, is set in the halls of the River Valley School for the Deaf and was optioned for a series adaptation well before its publication date. I asked Nović to provide us with five books she loves by deaf authors.
