. @spec_books are doing amazing, sweeties! With new titles by @ChristinaNwrth, @ms_chatelaine and @BibiJuneS -

Transient Light by Elaine Gallagher https://www.speculativebooks.net/shop-1/transient-light-by-elaine-gallagher

Begin Again by Bibi June https://www.speculativebooks.net/shop-1/bibi-june-begin-again

AMPHIBIAN by Christina Neuwirth https://www.speculativebooks.net/shop-1/amphibian

Christina's Amphibian is one of the sharpest, funniest things I've read this year.

We loved April Hill's work so much we carved out a whole new mentorship just for her - her pamphlet Lady Red Ego was published by @Wildpressed this year http://www.wildpressedbooks.com/april-hill.html 

April's mentor Rachel Plummer released WAIN, her collection of LGBT reimaginings of Scottish folklore, this year - buy one for the wean in your life, and one for yourself! https://theemmapress.com/books/wain/ 

Jay G Ying's poetry bends my mind - The Wedding Beasts is an incredible piece of work https://bittermelon.weebly.com/wedding-beasts.html

Eris Young's They/Them/Their: A Guide to Nonbinary & Genderqueer Identities is available from @JKPBooks - Eris is writer in residence at @Lighthousebks and recently made The List's Hot 100! https://www.jkp.com/uk/they-them-their.html

Shane Strachan's Nevertheless was published in 2018 to celebrate the centenary of Muriel Spark http://www.africanbookscollective.com/books/nevertheless

This year, @StewedBooks celebrated the tenth anniversary of The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven by @JoCliffordPlays, which had a triumphant run right back where it started at the Tron theatre in Glasgow https://stewedrhubarb.org/product/the-gospel-according-to-jesus-queen-of-heaven-10th-anniversary-edition/

.Stewed also republished @HarryJosieGiles's debut, Tonguit https://stewedrhubarb.org/product/tonguit-by-harry-giles/

Harry's The Games is published by @Outspoken_Press, and features my absolute favourite cut up http://www.outspokenldn.com/shop/thegames 

The Games also features more of Harry's poems, 'Abolish the Police' https://abolishthepoems.tumblr.com/ 

Things We Say in the Dark by @kirstylogan is absolutely horrible, in the best possible way - some genuinely unsettling spooky short stories to keep your timbers shivered throughout the winter

Ceremony features new work by @AndresNOrdorica, @BibiJuneS and Etzali Hernández - Andres is published absolutely everywhere just now, so I guess just open a magazine and he'll probably be in it http://www.tapsalteerie.co.uk/product/ceremony/

Sandra Alland's chapbook of short stories, Anything Not Measurable Is Not Real, is available now - from @CategoryIsBooks or from Sandra's website, here http://blissfultimes.ca/books/22093-Anything%2DNot%2DMeasurable%2DIs%2DNot%2DReal%2D%2Dshort%2Dstories%2D
