How to Live on Other Planets: A Handbook for Aspiring Aliens

One of the pleasures of the short story writing life is when you've been accepted for an anthology then seeing a Table of Contents for the first time. 



This is one of the reasons I submit my reprints to anthologies. There's nothing quite like being table of content buddies with writers you admire. Her's the TOC for a new anthology that I'm in. 

How to Live on Other Planets: A Handbook for Aspiring Aliens explores the immigrant experience in a science fiction setting, with exciting fiction and poetry from some of the genre’s best writers.

  3. I love the title and the concept! Sci fi is still probably my favourite genre even though I thought I'd grow out of it when I grew up. Nope, didn't happen!
