Author Features Archive, 2016 to 2020

Shelves of fantasy and science fiction books in a large bookshop

From 2016 to 2020, Speculative Chic, then a science fiction, fantasy and horror book blog run by its previous editors, published a long-running set of author features: My Favorite Things, You’re My Inspiration and Fiction Friday. The site has since changed hands, and those articles are no longer hosted here. The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine preserves them, and every link below opens the archived copy on web.archive.org.

188 archived articles, listed by series and then by date.
