If you have leftist scifi work to submit for our monumental 10th Issue, the time is now. While you have April to submit we hope you'll give us a week to read your work, and we might just fill up due to budget limits. As launch gets closer we're also less likely to accept work that needs large edits

We’re upping the contributor’s remittance due to space. We’d like this to be a shorter, more streamlined-lined issue, which means less is more, quality is paramount.

Even if you think you’re the exception and you will never become chronically ill, wear a mask.

Even if you’re “young and otherwise healthy”, wear a mask.

Even if your last covid infection was “mild”, wear a mask.

Do it for those who may not be as lucky, and do it to protect your long term health
