Bogi Takács
Bogi Takács has emerged as a vital force in contemporary speculative fiction, particularly in championing transgender voices and experiences within the genre. As editor of Transcendent 2: The Year’s Best Transgender Speculative Fiction, Takács curated a landmark anthology that earned the 2018 Lambda Literary Award in the Transgender Fiction category—a recognition that underscored the collection’s importance in expanding the landscape of genre literature. The anthology brought together an array of stories that center transgender perspectives in science fiction, fantasy, and related genres, creating space for narratives that had long been marginalized in traditional speculative fiction spaces.
Beyond this award-winning editorial work, Takács is known for their commitment to accessibility and inclusivity in publishing. Their curatorial eye tends toward stories that interrogate identity, belonging, and transformation—themes that resonate across speculative fiction’s many subgenres. Takács’s influence extends through their advocacy for diverse representation in a field that has historically struggled with inclusion, making them not just an editor but a cultural advocate shaping which voices get heard and celebrated in contemporary genre literature.
