We are so excited to share our new release! Forthcoming from Echobird Press! The Artifact, by Maxwell Pearl @maxbearpearl is a powerful story of self-discovery, diplomacy, and the unexpected ways people, and species, can find common ground in a universe teetering on the edge of change. Melinda grew up in the confines of a secretive and oppressive cult where the outside world was nothing but a forbidden myth. Her father’s community was strict, patriarchal, and isolated. Her explorations tumble her into an underground where she discovers a mysterious disc-like artifact. Exiled for her curiousity, Melinda is thrust into a modern world she never imagined existed, struggling to understand the technology, people, and secrets that have been hidden from her her entire life as she comes to live with Tristan, a woman who grew up in a similar situation and offers sanctuary to those displaced by the cult. Meanwhile, Tristan’s partner Kerry plies the spaceways as the captain of the freighter John Coltrane. As previously unknown aliens with mysterious motives appear in the galaxy and attack human colonies, Kerry becomes witness and this Melinda’s new family must deal with the consequences. pre-orders for paperback and ebook are now available at Echobird Press! #smallbusiness #womanownedbusiness #queerownedbusiness #bookart #writingcommunity #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #booklover #readersofinstagram #publishinghouse #speculativefiction #sciencefiction #scifi #blackauthor #youngadultreads #youngadult #youngadultliterature

Did you know…. When I’m not playing with dead things and making art, I like to write? And sometimes I actually *share* that fact with folks? If you happen to be a poetry lover as well as a curiosity enthusiast, this post is for you! (And if you’re only here for the art, fret not; new work is coming just as soon as I clean up my workspace 😅) So: Behold! April is National Poetry Month, and I’m part of this online show. It’s been a minute since I’ve done any kind of public reading… time to break some reclusive habits and share some spoken words 🙂 Details below, and in the pics. Hope to see y’all (electronically) there! ….. [original post from @echobirdpress ] * Y’all, do not sleep on this one. Echobird Press presents: Murmurations, an online poetry showcase!

We want to read your hopepunk/solarpunk stories!! submission deadline May 1st, deets at EchobirdPress.com and below: Storytelling is an ancient art form, and has helped us to understand our world and our lives, and envision different realities. Science fiction has, historically, not only predicted some aspects of the future, but also shaped it. Now, as we find ourselves in dark times, instead of envisioning dystopian futures, let’s envision something different. This anthology of science fiction will be designed to help us envision peaceful, environmentally sustainable, and equitable futures for North America (and the world). These stories should spark our imaginations about a better, sustainable future. They might be environmentally focused, focused on space exploration, and/or set in near-future urban landscapes. These are not meant to be utopian: what’s most important about these stories is that they will give us clues and visions, some small, some large, about how we get there from here. The progress may well not be complete. We will center marginalized voices, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, migrants, disabled folks, and others. We want to hear about adventurers, healers, scientists, artists, shamans, spacers, teachers, politicians, and all of the individuals and communities you can imagine, who are working and building, or have built, a better tomorrow. We’re looking for stories of 1,000 - 6,000 words. We’ll pay $50 per story, plus a copy of the final book. Simultaneous submissions are fine. Previously published stories are also fine. DO NOT SUBMIT AI-GENERATED STORIES. We will use AI detection and may shame authors who submit obvious AI-generated stories via social media. We are serious. Deadline for submission is May 31th, 2025. The Visions Anthology will be published November 30, 2025. Pre-orders will be announced in early November! #smallbusiness #publishing #writingcommunity #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #booklover #readersofinstagram #publishinghouse #sff #sciencefiction #callforsubmissions #submission #callforwriters #queerownedbusiness #bookart #womanownedbusiness #bipocwriters #queerwriters #smallpress #upcoming #forthcoming
