It's a huge dream come true for me to finally get my art published somewhere, let alone a magazine as fantastic, creative and inclusive as this!! I can't say enough good things about the people involved with it, and for any fan of sword & sorcery, I can't imagine a better place to be than NESS. ⚔️

Every day, the announcements are just so cool. If you aren't backing this, are you really a Sword & Sorcery fan?

Lone Wolf, a small piece I got to contribute to the lovely @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social last year, currently taking pledges on backerit for the 2026 issues. #chooseyourownadventure #fantasyart #swordandsorcery #art

😵‍💫 M-maybe by morning we have a third author raise to go with the two artist raises?😵‍💫 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Funded, unlocked double art, reduced shipping, and a couple boosts to author and artist pay...and just four days in!

As someone who was in Hexagon and On Spec before the end, can I just say how great it is to see a Canadian SFF magazine with cool covers reach its 10th issue in hard copy?

Always love that NESS does author and artist raises as stretch goals. Think I got pro rate for the issue I was in.

🌿We're $420 from unlocking a second author raise... ...so if you want to GET HIGH, supporting authors (and an indie mag) is a helluva drug!🚬 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Proud to be the 600th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for New Edge Sword & Sorcery 2026! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

I started this magazine in a different body, gender and name and with zero editorial experience. Will yourself into existence

The big publishers might have abandoned mass market paperbacks but the indies haven’t! Gina got me this from @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social for Valentine’s Day and you goddamn better believe I know I married up!

📖We do pride ourselves on the quality of our magazine and that includes how it's physically made!📚 Learn more here 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Love new takes on the pulp sword and sorcery genre! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Cast Hannah Waddingham as a sword and sorcery villain NOW

Check out New Edge Sword & Sorcery 2026 on @BackerKit! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

⚔️THE CROWDFUND FOR NEW EDGE SWORD & SORCERY 2026 IS LIVE⚔️ Three issues - our Timeworn Terra special - a New Jirel of Joiry story... The more re-posts this gets, the more bonus content we'll add to this year's issues! Go here to learn more and back the magazine👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

The livestream was so much fun! I hope you’ll back New Edge Sword & Sorcery on BackerKit. This magazine is exactly my jam: new voices with new takes on sword & sorcery stories. Check it out!

⚔️Sword & Sorcery is a great genre for art fans. Born in a magazine called Weird Tales, it's always had a strong tradition of dynamic, out-there art being paired with its titanic tales!🎨 & 🖌️We carry on this tradition by filling NESS with incredible illustrations! 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

⚔️Sword & Sorcery protagonists are rarely Chosen Ones, royalty, or otherwise. They're always outsiders, just trying survive in a harsh world. Relatable!⚔️ & 📜We're increasing the magazine's pagecount and upgrading its paper to something more textured!📜 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

⚔️ We unlocked our first artist raise around 2am!🖌💪 Will today yield our second author raise???✍️🤞 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

I ordered a paperback of one of these issues recently and it was delightful

🐌Three stretch goals unlocked in one day? We're gonna need to make a new graphic!🖥 🎨Now let's get those artists a pay raise... 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

We're funded at the base level! Let's go get a badass sword & sorcery comic by Jason Sholtis and Trey Causey! Thanks to @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social for their support and partnership. And a hearty thanks to all who backed and shared. I really appreciate it. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

What's more romantic than helping a bunch of cutie-pie authors get a pay raise? Nothing, tbh. We're less than 50 bucks from the first pay raise for contributors...be our valentine and back @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social tonight! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

This fun crowdfunded magazine is now less than $30 away from its third stretch goal--a higher rate for author contributors! If you like Jack Vance or CL Moore, you should buy this mag. I have several issues; they come out on time and read well/look good!

☝️CORRECTION: Just $153 to our first author raise! ✍️ 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

🤘Less than $350 to unlock our first author pay raise.💪 🤞Gods! Is today going to be a THREE stretch goal day?🙏 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

This means that every stretch goal from now on will be raises for the authors and artists! I saw a post where someone asked why the raises came *after* the art and shipping discount, and I think that's why - because now it's just unlimited raises for creatives until the campaign ends, baybeee!

Late night update: @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social finds itself less than $1000 from their first stretch goal! Double art ahoy!

PLEASE PLEASE I WANT TWICE THE ART FOR MY DOOMED FUTURE EARTH WITH GIANT SQUID STORY (they're pretty giant) (the story also has some humans)

Glad to back this great magazine!

🖼 It's true. Twice the illustrations per story & article? Sounds good to me! 2️⃣ 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Past issues of NESS have featured lush interior art through and through, so yes, doubling up on said interior art would be terrific. (Artists credited in the alt text.)

Hell yeah! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...
