@analogsf.bsky.social @asimovssfmag.bsky.social and others from MRM... Can you explain the right grabbing and exploiting artists/writers??? Can you explain different contracts starting from fully predatory to mildly predatory depending on how much ppl push back? Like... we talk to each other.

Posting acceptances and publications only is a distorted reflection of reality. Over the past few days, I had about a dozen+ form Rs. Poetry packets help, but doesn't make it easier. I only subbed 4 times this month bc... meh. Didn't write either bc... meh? It's never easy, never assume it is.

I've been quiet about this one until I had some definite news, but this book is available now!! It's a book that's both taken a long time to come to fruition and a whirlwind of a rush at the same time. Published by Island of Wak-Wak, the same as my poetry chapbook from two years ago.
cover art, text reads "Daniel Ausema, The Fall of the City of Bells"; images from the public domain shows monks pulling the ropes on a line of bells in an old building

Today is a great day. Really, really excited for everyone to read this issue. It has VAMPIRES (well, one vampire) and HEARTBREAK and MIRACLES and WOLVES and SPACECRAFT TEST DUMMIES (well, one spacecraft test dummy) and EXTINCT LOBE-FINNED FISH. What more could you possibly want from a magazine??
