Fictional Highlights
I’m starting a new regular feature here on the ABW (and also on the Carl Brandon Society blog) wherein I list all of the SF/F/H short fiction by writers of color published each month.
We used to do a similar thing on the SFBookswap blog for women writers (online only, though) and I always wanted to […]

Michael Jackson: Speak A Good Word
Michael Jackson died yesterday. I wish I could say this came as a shock. Though I didn’t know anything about his health or recent condition, somehow I just found myself unsurprised. And profoundly sad.
In deciding to write this, I went through many thoughts on why I feel able to be sad about Michael’s death and […]

Writers of Color in the Write-a-thon
As I mentioned before, I’m participating in the Write-a-thon to raise money for Clarion West and the Butler scholarship. There are also other writers of color participating (though they’re only raising money for CW). If you have any amount to donate, even if it just $1/week or a flat $10, I encourage you to do […]

Being Social
As some of you have cottoned, the ABWs have found their way to Twitter. We’re tweeting under angryblackwomen because certain other names were taken by someone NOT us. I think we need to trademark or something.
Right now tweets mainly consist of blog post alerts and links. But I’m sure we’ll become much more interactive tweeters […]

2009 Clarion West Write-a-thon
Longtime readers of this blog may remember my doing this fundraising event in years past. I’m at it again! Along with several other people (including, I think, Karnythia and Nisi).
A write-a-thon is like a marathon except there’s no running, just writing. 6 weeks of writing, to be exact, that parallel the 6 weeks that Clarion […]

Having Some Guests Over
Remember last year when I opened up the blog to several guest bloggers for Black History Month? That was so awesome. I enjoyed having new voices on the blog and the great conversations and thoughts they inspired. From that exercise we gained a new permanent guest, Karnythia, and it whet my appetite for more. So […]
