hey have you guys subscribed

CLARKESWORLD is doing a subscription drive! Clarkesworld is one of the best magazines in the business to subscribe to and submit to! donate! share!

Absolutely delighted to say that my novelette ‘Four People I Need You to Kill Before the Dance Begins’, published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com, is a finalist for the Eugie Award! Congratulations to all the finalists — very honoured to be in your company.

This feels all-too-familiar to me.

The annoying thing about doing a subscription drive is having to keep yelling about it. Doesn't work if I say nothing. Strange, eh?

Much appreciation to the people that have been subscribing and helping us spread the word. Improving staff pay isn't something that's typically a big motivator, so it means a lot to see so many people getting behind the goal.

genuinely hard to sum up how much Clarkesworld has done for me in the last few years. please do consider supporting them — they pay it forward to so many brilliant and talented people. and also you get stories in return

Somewhere out there, someone who's just started reading SF has found Clarkesworld and is going to start writing stories so they can join the conversation. We should make sure the magazine is there to catch those stories, because they're probably going to blow our minds.

A long time ago, when I finally admitted that I was really an SF writer, not a litfic writer, Clarkesworld and Shimmer were the two magazines I started reading, and then where I started submitted. Shimmer is gone, but we still have Clarkesworld. We should do what we can to keep it.

Clarkesworld consistently publishes amazing SFF short fiction and does it with incredible commitment to authors, staff, and quality—seriously worth subscribing to support all the magazine does!

Support Clarkesworld, guys! One of the best short fiction mags out there.

Between now and October (our 20th anniversary issue), we're running a subscription drive and dedicating all new revenue toward improving pay for our staff, writers, artists, and contractors. Details on how to subscribe can be found here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

If you love short SF, or SF generally, a subscription to Clarkesworld is incredibly worth it. 50,000 words every month of stories, interviews and art for not a whole lot of money. Highly highly recommended.

Clarkesworld was one of the first online magazines I submitted to. They eventually published one of my favourite short stories that I've written (drafted over one night, not sure I can still do that), 'muo-ka's Child'. Help Neil keep the lights on and increase pay.

If you've been thinking abt it, now's a great time to sub. Huge range of stories and styles. Consistently featuring international authors and translated works. High hit rate of thoughtful stories. Award-winning work, but also trying out stuff like "The Mub." Why I'm always coming back. Check em out!

I have an interview in this month's Clarkesworld magazine, which you can read here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer_inte...

If not wanting "AI" anything in my magazine makes me the villain in the eyes of some, I can live with that. No amount of whining will change my mind. I do not need to explain myself. My house. My rules.

Ok, if you missed last night, B&N had four signed copies left (as of last night). If you want a signed copy, you can also catch Isabel tonight (7PM) at The Strand in NYC or one of the remaining tour stops: us.macmillan.com/tours/isabel...
