The winner of Thursday's bonus prize draw for a copy of Agatha H and the Airship City by Phil and Kaja Foglio is: William Vennell. Congratulations!
Here are some more fund drive blog posts from the last little while:
- Haddayr Copley-Woods: "The nonprofit magazine Strange Horizons, run by 40 volunteers and paying some of the best rates in the industry (7 cents a word), has gone from a geeky dream to an institution. Won't you support awesome fiction, nonfiction, reviews, and poetry, as well as paying writers well?"
- Lal Vipulananthan: "You should go and give them some money. Not only will you helping the best online sf magazine to continue publishing great fiction, poetry and reviews, you also stand a chance of winning some fabulous prizes. I’m ashamed to admit that I only read the reviews, but that shouldn’t stop you from browsing the rest of the site. Some favourite reviews of mine include Nic Clarke on The Privilege of the Sword, Martin Lewis on God of Clocks and Farah Mendlesohn on The Engineer Trilogy.
- Matt Cheney: "But you shouldn't donate just to get a prize. You should donate because that's what keeps SH going, and has kept it going for 10 years now, long enough to make it venerable. Their staff is all volunteer, but they pay their writers good rates (think of it as the opposite of the Huffington Post that way)."
- Susan Marie Groppi: "Why you should give to Strange Horizons: because it’s awesome, and it’s been awesome for eleven years now, and it’s managed to be awesome with an all-volunteer staff and without most of the infrastructure that supports other magazines. Strange Horizons publishes top-notch fiction and nonfiction, it publishes every week, and it doesn’t charge you anything for the privilege."
Two and a half days left. Please donate!
