About Mel Watkins
By day-program services in the Vice Provost\'s Office for Advanced Learning at Harvard, helping learners get connected to their online courses. By night-freelance writer, which needs more promotion so that\'s what the rest of this is about.Fiction- speculative, fantasy, and sci-fi. Find my work in Lightspeed, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Fantasy Magazine, khōréō, midnight & indigo, Haven Speculative, and others. I\'m all about community, positive imaginations of the future, and Black joy.Non-fiction - personal essays, culture, book reviews. Find my work in Statesider, Raising Mothers, Blerd.com and Equal Opportunity Reader as well as in the anthologies Gifted-Ish, Black In Asia and Trailblasian: Black Women In East Asia. My life has been(and still is) really weird, and I tell stories about it. I also teach workshops and classes, most recently \"For Colored Girls Who Still Want To Read Spec-Fic When the Grimdark Becomes Too Gruff: An Exploration of Black Women\'s Hope Narratives In Science Fiction and Fantasy\" through midnight & indigo\'s writing studio. I also script and perform audio description for live productions and film. In my previous lives, I was an academic director, a college lecturer, a youth worker, a vocal musician, a non-profit development worker, and a very, very bad translator.
