PRAISE FOR MEANWHILE, ELSEWHERE

“Fueled by politics and history, conceived by experience and imagination ... prepare for an emotional roller-coaster of a read. These enchanting and eye-opening tales move us to think and feel beyond genre norms.”
—Library Journal

“This book changed the way I dream.”
—Zoey Leigh Peterson, author of Next Year, For Sure

“Generous…important.”
—Booklist

“Instead of using SF/F to theorize new trans possibilities, they use trans realities to imagine new possibilities for SF/F. … There’s much to love, and much to dwell upon. A dazzling showcase of speculative writing … huge, vibrant, and full of ideas.”
—Strange Horizons

“A treasure trove of trans peoples' dreams and nightmares.”
—Katherine Cross, @quinnae_moon

“Meanwhile, Elsewhere will startle you into consciousness through to the last page.”
—Meredith Russo, author of If I Was Your Girl and Birthday

"Imagine[s] a new world as much as they represent and challenge the one we live in. Bodies fall apart in this speculative landscape as much as they are built up, and each time is as miraculous—or as horrifying—as the author crafts it to be."
—Plenitude

"Ground-breaking … I was totally blown away by the quality: their inventiveness, their humour, and their emotional impact. There were stories that made me laugh out loud, ones that made me think real hard, and ones that made me cry … I am so excited for the future of speculative fiction and trans fiction and that very special intersection of trans speculative fiction that Meanwhile, Elsewhere represents. Get this book, and get it now.
—Casey the Canadian Lesbrarian

“Remarkable … fun and totally wild … Meanwhile, Elsewhere is good, weird, out of this world, and occasionally trashy. But more importantly, it defies the singular trans story of the mainstream media, and shows how visionary and interesting trans writers are when they have the chance to write stories they really want to tell."“
—Truthout

"In a word, brilliant. You want other words? Okay, how about fantastic, original, engaging, wondrous, amusing, exciting, arousing, and intellectually stimulating ... Multi-author anthologies are always a hit-or-miss proposition, even when built around a theme, but Cat Fitzpatrick & Casey Plett have done an astounding job here."
—Bending the Bookshelf
