Signs of life

August 9, 2024 by alaya

Life is beautiful and I’m still writing, though not as quickly as I’d like sometimes. I have a new position as a visiting professor of creative writing for a year, which I am absurdly excited about. I feel as though I’m going to learn as much about writing as my students! I’ve had a new short story out from Clarkesworld Magazine, which I am quite proud of. And I’ve been publishing some very adventurous (for me) pieces of creative non-fiction in my newsletter, A Stranger Comes Home. I have many cool new projects in the pipeline, but in the meantime, I am still basking in the warm glow of having been nominated for the prestigious Ursula K. Le Guin Award for my novel The Library of Broken Worlds. It just takes one reader. Maybe that’s you?

Abrazos,

Alaya
