With me today to read the novelette category for the Nebulas are Allen Dyen-Shapiro, Leigh Harlen, and Brent Lambert.
Allan Dyen-Shapiro is a Ph.D. biochemist who enjoyed a 19-year research career. He now teaches in high-poverty schools in Southwest Florida and recently ramped up his union activism. He's sold short fiction to venues including Dark Matter Magazine, Flash Fiction Online, and numerous anthologies and co-edited an anthology of speculative fiction set in the Middle East. He's a member of SFWA and Codex and blogs at allandyenshapiro.com, where you'll also find links to his stories.
Leigh Harlen is a queer, non-binary writer of dark leaning speculative fiction who lives and works in Seattle alongside their partner and dog. They are the author of Queens of Noise, Blood Like Garnets, A Feast For Flies, and several short stories. Their non-writing hobbies include petting strangers’ dogs, crocheting, and enthusing about how awesome bats are. Follow them on Twitter @LeighHarlen or better yet, Bluesky @leighharlen.bsky.social for updates on future publications.
Brent Lambert is a Black, queer man who heavily believes in the transformative power of speculative fiction across media formats. As a founding member of FIYAH Literary Magazine, he turned that belief into action and became part of a Hugo Award winning team. He resides in San Diego but spent a lot of time moving around as a military brat. His family roots are in the Cajun country of Louisiana.
