podcast friday
Jan. 16th, 2026 07:11 am Today's episode is Wizards & Spaceships' "Editing Roundtable ft. Alexandra Pierce and Josh Wilson." If you read any SFFH, you'll know that the short story and critical essay markets are central in ways that they really aren't in other genre fiction or in literary fiction. If you hang out with SFFH people, you'll notice that "we should start a magazine" gets said almost as often as "we should start a podcast." Anyway, this episode looks at magazine publishing. Alexandra is the editor of Speculative Insight, which publishes critique and analysis about genre fiction, and Josh Wilson is the editor of The Fabulist, which specializes in extremely short SFFH. It's, among other things, a much more positive episode than I normally post here, so you should check it out.
