Alas, for reasons of finances, I am not at Worldcon this year. (My plan to provide all speculative fiction authors with magical wands that with a single whisk provide unlimited travel funds to all conventions is, shockingly, proving impractical.) But for those of you who are, I've been asked to pass on the info that Daily Science Fiction -- that wonderful zine that's been providing free short speculative fiction every weekday for a while now -- is having An Event tomorrow (Thursday) at 3 pm, which will feature the launch of Not Just Rockets and Robots: Daily Science Fiction, Year One.
Those of you who have signed up for DSF already know what an amazing spread of work they publish (disclosure; including me -- I have a small flash piece in that collection.) As far as I can tell, they've mostly been financing DSF entirely out of their own pockets, only starting to sell e-collections of monthly issues this year. So, if you've enjoyed DSF at all, this seems like a great time to try to help them out financially by buying a few copies of this collection. Plus, various DSF authors are planning on stopping by, so, good time to meet people.
(And if you haven't signed up for DSF already, why not? Did I mention, free?)
Also, Innsmouth Free Press is putting together a Sword and Mythos anthology. These are the same people behind Future Lovecraft and some other great anthologies, who are now looking to expand and pay pro rates. (Full disclosure: they've published me frequently, so, I'm a bit biased in their direction -- but I wouldn't have submitted to them if I didn't like them.)
