I am delighted that my debut novella, THESE FRAGILE GRACES, THIS FUGITIVE HEART, will be published with Tachyon Publications and edited by the brilliant Jayme Goh! I wrote this for everyone who wants their cyberpunk to be (even more) queer and trans.

I suppose I should do an #introduction. I'm Izzy Wasserstein (she/her). I'm a queer and trans writer of #SFF and an academic. My debut short story collection, All The Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From, came out this summer with the wonderful Neon Hemlock press.

I've currently got a cyberpunk novella on submission and am working on a #ScienceFantasy novel.
