  2. I’d really like to know what the contents of Space Crone are. I’ve an exceedingly hard time believing that the material hasn’t already been published elsewhere. The publisher doesn’t listed them on its site.

  3. As usual Reddit comes to rescue – Table of contents for Space Crone –

    * The Space Crone (1976 – nonfiction)
    * Sur (1982 – fiction)
    * Bryn Mawr Commencement Address (1986 – nonfiction)
    * Is Gender Necessary (redux) (1976/1988 – nonfiction)
    * The Fisherwoman’s Daughter (1988 – nonfiction)
    * In and Out (1989 – fiction (published as part of Searoad I think))
    * Texts (1990 – fiction (also part of Searoad))
    * Introducing myself (1992 – nonfiction)
    * Off the Page: Loud Cows, A Talk, and a Poem about reading aloud (1992 – nonfiction)
    * The Sound of your Writing (1998 – nonfiction)
    * Award and Gender (1999 – nonfiction)
    * On Genetic Determinism (2003 – nonfiction)
    * Old Body Not Writing (2003 – nonfiction)
    * What It was Like (2004 – nonfiction)
    * What Women Know (2010 – nonfiction)
    * Disappearing Grandmothers (2011 – nonfiction)

  5. It’s rather noticeable that, going down the list, there’s nothing that isn’t a Tor imprint until you get to the novelette category.

  6. I just fed a generous sampling of the titles through ISFDB, Not at all to my surprise, they’d indeed been published before in such publications as her The Wave in the Mind: Talks and Essays on the Writer, the Reader, and the Imagination and Words Are My Matter: Writings About Life and Books.As I said, I was having a hard time believing this was unpublished material.

  7. @PhilRM

    It’s a problem when one of the more influential organizations within the genre appears to be so incurious about the broader range of works that are published each year.
