It's awards season! I couldn't be more proud of the two books I published last year. "Automatic Noodle" is my love letter to San Francisco's future. The anthology "We Will Rise Again" is a hopeful collaboration between me,
@older, Karen Lord, & many brilliant authors. I'm also incredibly grateful that I'm able to continue publishing weird, queer, hopeful science fiction about resistance & community. Thank you to everyone who worked on these books, and to everyone who read them!!!

For Your Consideration This Awards Season ... Best Novella: Automatic Noodle ... Best Anthology: We Will Rise Again, Edited by Karen Lord, Annalee Newitz, and Malka Older. The image shows the book covers of both works, and the background is a bunch of rainbow-colored stars, clouds, and planets.

@annaleen @older I picked up Automatic Noodle in a bundle (Autonomous too) and can't wait to read them when I have the time! Very interested in We will rise again too, hopefully I'll have a chance to snatch it in a similar way (dollars are expensive!)

@annaleen Just read Automatic Noodle, cover to cover, with no breaks. 4.5 stars, a bit pricy but worth it 😜 - seriously: thank you for this great, hopeful read and I'm looking forward to reading more of your work!

heck yeah! my default is a nice shop near me with owners who are basically always up for a chat. I was mostly wondering if there's somewhere you authors would get a better cut, but if there isn't, that's where I'll buy

@annaleen Reading Automatic Noodle has inspired me to try making my own biang biang noodles. Really loved the optimism of the story and look forward to reading more :)

@annaleen @older cool librarians highlighting cool books is how I found Automatic Noodle, so cool to find the author on the fediverse! I enjoyed the book so much I made a playlist with the same name 🍜

@annaleen @older oh, well this is perfect! I was looking for more books to read after I've finished the ones I'm reading now. Those will be on my "up next" list!

@annaleen @older OH MY GOD.

I just picked up We Will Rise Again at BSides Seattle! I had no idea you were on the fedi!

Thank you so much for such a beautiful work of art. It’s the hope I need in this day and age <3
