I don’t know how many of you are aware of Fireside magazine. It’s a new startup fiction magazine that will launch in March if all goes according to schedule. It will be available in pdf and ebook formats. Print copies are reserved for contributors to the Kickstarter fundraising, and depending on the level of contribution will be signed by one or more authors. (You get to choose whose signature you receive.) The magazine has reached its funding goal, so it’s a go. The first issue will have contributions from Tobias S. Buckell, D. J. Turnbuckle, Adam P. Knave, Ken Liu, Chuck Wendig, and Christie Yant, with illustrations by Amy Houser. There’s about 36 left on the fundraising, and any money not used in production will either go to the authors or be used as seed money for future issues. To learn more or to contribute, go to the Fireside page.
cool. I’ll check it out
I hope this one survives. It’s not going to focus on a specific genre so much as nonfiction, which could provide a venue for some of those hard to categorize stories.
