Can you picture a future with scarce water, scarce green plants, no trees? Small and remote insular communities bound together by necessity?
Climate fiction is often dystopian because we face massive Earth changes due to climate change that will affect all living beings. Perhaps we write post-disaster, dystopian futures to motive humans to act now. Perhaps we sprinkle hope within the pages. For your musing:
My new short climate fiction “Saved Places” appears in the Water issue of wards literary magazine. Kudos to creator and editor Rebecca Ogle for producing beautiful and critical issues featuring diverse authors. I hope you’ll peruse the site and read all the prior issues.
A cool feature: the wards bookshelf on Bookshop, a curated list by topic including #BlackLivesMatter, Pride, Climate Fiction, Native fiction and nonfiction, and many other topics for your investigation. I highly recommend finding your next read via the wards bookshelf.
