Some Good Newsletters from Authors

I get a lot (probably too many) email newsletters, most of which are tech related. But a few are from authors, primarily science fiction authors. The ones I'm highlighting here are free, though you can contribute to the authors if you wish to get extra content.

  • The Hypothesis by Annalee Newitz: I'm currently reading and enjoying her latest novel, The Terraformers, and have read her other two novels. Her latest newsletter talks about applied science fiction; that is using science fiction to test solutions to problems thar are arising in the present or might arise in the future. As usual with authors' newsletters, she also describes some of her recent publications. 
  • Transfer Orbit by Andrew Liptak: Liptak is a "writer and historian from Vermont. He is the author of the book Cosplay: A History (Saga Press, 2022)" and his writing has appeared in numerous publications. The newsletter is mostly about science fiction and fantasy in various media. 
  • Throwingthebearinthecanoe by Elisabeth Bear: She writes about many topics including her books, recovery from cancer surgery and horses. 
  • Field Notes by Christopher Brown. I have blogged about this newsletter before but it's worth mentioning again. I should note that it's no longer weekly, unfortunately.
