Description

While speculative fiction is justly lauded for its progressive ideas and ideals, it has too often and for too long failed to include the voices of those who aren’t white or cis male. With the dawn of the 21st century, however, marginalized groups have challenged the genre’s status quo with renewed vigor—forging, reimagining, and expanding new paths—to take their rightful place in the field.

But the work is not done.

Edited by Chinelo Onwualu, Hydra House Books introduces Ex Marginalia, a collection of essays by writers from identities routinely excluded or ignored by the speculative fiction community. These voices are vital to the present and the future of the genre. And they cannot—will not—remain any longer in the margins.

Ex Marginalia will be published on February 21, 2023, through all major book outlets.
