This week’s roundtable is a monster. JoSelle Vanderhooft, renowned editor of Steam Powered, Steam Powered 2, and many other fascinating collections, joins us for an extensive discussion about LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) speculative fiction, the reception of LGBT people in the community (and publishing), the political side of things, and, of course, JoSelle’s work!
We hope you enjoy it the episode!

I love this author; she loves Simone.
I had trouble tracking down this anime, since I thought it was Simone. Then I discovered it’s Simoun. I bought it yesterday and it should be at my house tomorrow! 🙂
As for sf/f for kids/middle grade with glbtq characters, the best I can come up with off the top of my head is Diane Duane’s Wizardry series. On the face of it, this might seem like fantasy, but it reads like science fiction to me. Unfortunately the glbtq content is subtext — two male wizards who mentor the kids and live together nearby. But kids with gay parents or just gay awareness should pick up on it.
Oh! Thanks for the info. I didn’t pick up that the mentors were gay in the series. Totally missed that…
Do you have a link for the Steam-Powered 3 call for submissions? I did some googling, but wasn’t able to track down a website/guidelines, and I didn’t find it mentioned on JoSelle’s website either.
Thanks! Great show!
They might not be out yet. Hrmm. They’ll pop up on Outer Alliance eventually, though!
