2025 Year End Eligibility Post

What a difficult year. We’ll leave it at that.

But I wrote a TON and I am incredibly proud of what was published this year and what is going to come out next year. (Some of which I can’t announce yet.)

Here’s what came out this year.

The Short Stories

In the Shells of Broken Things – Clarkesworld Magazine – June 2025

“Get your hands dirty. The motto of anyone who grew up in the Evergreen Dome, which included my grandparents, my parents, my great aunts and uncles, and all of their friends. When I was a teen, I threatened to have those words tattooed over the backs of my hands and never leave the house. A hollow threat—I’d always been restless.”

– Short Story -7,000 words

Adventures on the Omega Train at Night – Sunday Morning Transport – April 2025

– Short Story – 3,600 words

The Wanting Night & Day Anthology edited by Ellen Datlow – September, 2025

There was plenty of debris in the road, trash, broken glass everywhere, and other undefinable objects littered about, some of them stretched beyond recognition like old taffy. Shapeless lumps of people twitched under blankets on the sidewalks.

– Short Story – 2,800 words

The Novelette

View Window – Strange Horizons – June 2025

In the driftwood and flotsam of his once carefully assembled life, Oliver decided to move in the city. Which was to say, leave his apartment.

The Essay

Accessibility Toolkit for When Things Go Wrong – Uncanny Magazine – January 2025

I’m writing this essay because in recent years, I’ve noticed a gap between accessibility plans and what happens when that plan doesn’t play out as expected.

If you’re still here, at the end of this post, thank you! I hope your end of 2025 is full of good things and good company.
