Hey all. I'm doing an AMA on @Reddit_Fantasy and giving away 10 copies of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024 (US-only). I'll be answering questions about PROTEST 2025, BASFF 2024, and whatever else! reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comment…

Just launched my latest project. You can probably guess the inspiration, but read all about it at igg.me/at/protest2025.

Good news, everyone! I'm launching a new newsletter in January 2025 called ROBOT WIZARD ZOMBIE CRIT! Why that name? Robot = science fiction, Wizard = fantasy, Zombie = horror, and Crit! = roleplaying games. Together, they represent what the inside of my brain looks like. It will have updates on @LightspeedMag and @NightmareMag and my anthologies; plus, you'll get my thoughts about books, short stories, TV and film, roleplaying games, and related subjects. All subscribers to the newsletter will receive the ebook anthology ROBOT WIZARD ZOMBIE CRIT! STORIES: VOLUME ONE as a free reward for subscribing once the newsletter launches. Sign up for free: johnjosephadams.com/newslett…
