We’re close to the end of our fundraiser and still haven’t met our goal — we need ~$4k in four days. Frankly: I’ve used… a lot of personal funds to keep us afloat over the years between Kickstarters. I now have a child who’ll need daycare. I won’t have enough left over to bridge khōréō’s gaps.

All right, I’ve kept quiet for a bit because of real life crap, but come on guys. Our KS is moving at a snail's pace, and we can do better. And I’m not just saying this because I’m the marketing director of @khoreo.bsky.social, or because khōréō is my ride or die fam (which they are, ALWAYS)

Strange Horizons was the first magazine I ever submitted to as a teenager (and received a kind rejection). It was one of the first sff magazines to feel like a platform that welcomed international writers. I've read them, been published by them, written criticism for them. Help keep the lights on:

The Strange Horizons Kickstarter to fund 2027 will begin on Sunday, 7 June, 2026! This is a critical time for SFF publications when the existence of venues publishing short speculative fiction, poetry and non-fiction is sometimes uncertain. We hope that you will keep us publishing for another year!

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.
