BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to pay our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium ($125/mo).

I don't like giving advice but I would have liked to hear this when I started submitting work. Writers, you should never pay to submit to a magazine. Its insulting, devalues your work and reinforces the starving artist rhetoric. You deserve to be paid for your art.

Hexagon has been my most incredible creative venture thus far, but it’s time to say goodbye (for now). Read the full announcement of Hexagon’s hiatus on our website or Patreon. 🧡

It was your eyes that saw the colour, your brain that interpreted it, your heart that felt its beauty. You didn't love it because they're the Blue Artist, but because you were always a person who could love the sky. 4/

inexhaustive list to keep in mind, if youre a young person (esp. a young woman) breaking into a creative field / interacting with a creative professional w/ a lot of clout & $$ (or when interacting w/ fans): 1. there are always whisper networks. they are not exhaustive. dont expect them to be.

Time to be blunt. With the disintegration of trad social media, AI BS, & the constant stream of distracting bad news, it is harder than ever to get readers for SFF magazines. If what we do is important to you, please boost our posts wherever you see them. ❤️🦄

Looks like @apexmag.bsky.social is set to lose 34 subscribers today if they don't renew, which works out to $918 in badly needed revenue. That would pay for 11,475 words of original fiction. If you enjoy Apex, it would help a lot if you could subscribe. www.apexbookcompany.com/products/ape...
