Uncanny Magazine Issue 6 Now on Sale

Uncanny Magazine Issue 6 Now on Sale

Uncanny Magazine Issue Six-smallLynn and Michael Thomas, editors of Uncanny Magazine, celebrate a year of magnificent accomplishment in their editorial for the September/October issue.

With this issue, we can check off the Uncanny Magazine Year One Kickstarter backer fulfillment as completed. We promised we would bring you six issues of stunning covers and passionate science fiction and fantasy fiction and poetry, gorgeous prose, and provocative nonfiction by writers from every conceivable background. Not to mention a fantastic podcast featuring exclusive content.

We did it. We crossed the finish line on time and on budget, and delivered everything we said we would, or made alternate arrangements due to scheduling. Thank you.

We are deeply grateful that you supported us and made this year possible. Thank you for the wonderful feedback about our first five issues. We are immensely proud of the work we’ve done. We think Uncanny Magazine Year One is the best thing we’ve ever produced. We’re so happy to have had the Space Unicorn Ranger Corps along for the journey.

So now we can rest… Or run the Uncanny Magazine Year Two Kickstarter, which is pretty much the opposite of resting. (You’ve met us, right?)

The Uncanny Magazine Year Two Kickstarter is still open for another 24+ hours, so it’s not too late to join in the excitement and help support one of the most promising new magazines this field has seen in some time. Get the details here.

The September/October issue contains original fiction from Paul Cornell, Isabel Yap, Liz Argall, Kenneth Schneyer, and Keffy R. M. Kehrli, a reprint by N.K. Jemisin, nonfiction by Diana M. Pho, Steven H Silver, Michi Trota, and David J. Schwartz, poems by Rose Lemberg, Dominik Parisien, Amal El–Mohtar, and Jennifer Crow, and interviews with Isabel Yap, and Liz Argall and Kenneth Schneyer, all under a cover by Matthew Dow Smith.

All of the content became available for purchase as an eBook (PDF, EPUB, MOBI) on September 1, 2015. The free online content will be released in two stages – half on September 1, and half on October 6.
