A handy guide to all SFF-related posts and works of 2019

I never felt comfortable with eligibility posts, but I posted such an overview for the first time in 2016, when someone added my name to the Hugo Nominations Wiki. And since I’ve been doing it for three years now, I decided to make an overview post for 2019 as well.

So if you’re interested in what I write, here is an overview of all SFF related blogposts of 2019, in chronological order, as well as a list of all the SFF fiction I published.
