ePub version of Antipodean SF

In my ongoing quest to learn more about the speculative fiction community in general and writing and publishing in particular, I’ve pestered the person who has edited most of my published work (Ion “Nuke” Newcombe at Antipodean SF) with a lot of questions. He has always been very generous with his time and allowed me to participate in various aspects of his publication (chiefly lending my voice to some narration and contributing a non-fiction article).

My latest endeavour in a similar space has been working on an ePub edition of Antipodean SF. Included in each edition is the ten stories from the website that month, that month’s movie and/or book reviews as well as any editorial content from Nuke.

I’m pleased to say that the first edition is now available at the Antipodean SF eReader page, or at the download site for the AntiSF radio show.

It’s been a very interesting experience. I use the Scrivener product for most of my writing, so I have used it to create the ePub version of the website. I know Nuke is always interested in feedback, and I would love to hear from anyone with suggestions on how to improve the publication.

As I publish this post, I’m putting the finishing touches on next month’s edition (May 2012 – Issue 167). Lots of learning going on!

 

Make Mine a Macchiato – AntiSF podcast

One of my latest stories, Make Mine a Macchiato, is now available in audio form on the Antipodean SF radio show episode 166 alpha.

Antipodean SF editor and radio show host Nuke starts giving some background on me at about the 2 minute mark, with the story itself starting at 3 minutes.

Antipodean SF Issue 162 – December 2011 – review

Issue 162 of Antipodean SF has the usual 10 stories, although Ion is only producing two radio episodes over December.

I enjoyed The Macroscope by Lou Caravelli – in my day job bureaucrats often react with similar admiration of process over content.

Raven by Suzanne J. WIllis had some strong imagery, and I liked the morphing of the raven from aggressor to protector.

The Sound by Brent Lillie was interestingly structured, with a series of quotes from people describing a single event – a sound heard all around the world at the same moment.

Also in this edition were:

  • Beep by Rachel Towns
  • Night Time by Michael Schaper
  • Solidarity by Des McNicholas
  • Love and Perpetual Motion by Bart Meehan
  • Two Wise Men by Martin Hill
  • Textual Relations by David Siegel Bernstein
  • Fugitive by Shaun A Saunders
  • Under the Big Top by Steve Duffy
