Random reminder that this Africanfuturism anthology I edited while short (at 7 stories) is still available to read for free and includes an awesome story by Nnedi, a nommo-award winning story, and stories that have been reprinted in years' bests. Its all killer no filler.
A free (and *legal*...yes, this matters very much) download of the Africanfuturism Anthology is available on the @brittlepaper website. 👩🏾🚀🌍✨🚀🪐👽 #africanfuturism brittlepaper.com/2020/10/fre…

It's an honour beyond any I'd imagined to have won the @ClarkeAward. I nearly fell down in shock when they said my name! I think the judges recorded the speech I gave and it'll be shared, but I wanted to say a little of it here, so, a thread:

Not-so-random question: are there any bookshops in London where it’s possible to work half-days/shifts of no more than five or six hours?

This time last week I was on a mini bookshops tour around London London friends. We went to Gay's the Word, Bookmarks and The Common Press, finishing at the Brick Lane food market. Wish every Saturday could be the same. Also I wish I had more money to spend on books and markets.
