Women in SFF – Photo Challenge!

Women in SFF is just under two weeks away!

As you may know, we’re super excited to be bringing back our Women in SFF feature this July.

Here at the Hive, we love a photo challenge – as expressed by our annual contributions to the Wyrd and Wonder one! So, we thought it would be fun to come up with one of our own…

We do have some rules. Well guidelines. Well, suggestions.

  1. Please have fun! And if this means interpreting the prompt differently to our suggestion, that’s fine!
  2. You don’t have to respond with a photo. If you want to take part, but you’re not on Instragram, or you can’t be bothered to faff about taking photo of books, blog posts are welcome! Or Twitter threads! However you decide to join in, please do tag us so we can check out the books you’re shouting about.
  3. Yes, this is Women in SFF month, but if you want to talk about a female character that was actually written by a male author, we’ll allow it.
    We are giving (imaginary) bonus points to female authors though.

And that’s it! So, without further ado, our prompts…
