Latest story, "Grottmata," is now online at @nightmare-magazine.com. A space colony is plagued by a series of inexplicable deaths; an Inspector and a factory girl know more than they let on. Thanks again to Wendy and the Nightmare team for taking this and for their care with this one.

June was Hexagon’s lowest earning month since May of 2023. Funding a free magazine requires support from the community! 🧡 In the next few months we have our Year Four anthology, a new issue in September, and FOUR new MYRIAD Zines (with calls coming soon)!

Several crowdfunders running at the moment for rad SFF magazines - I hope they get loads of support because they fully deserve it! 😊 But if you have anything left over I'd *really* appreciate a few more subscribers as we've lost a couple of people recently and our margin is very small 💸

Amidst the Apex and Uncanny and Dreamforges, there's smaller venues like Inner Worlds doing their thing and trying to make it all work. Let's give them some of our love today and help ensure they remain on firm financial footing.

Please go subscribe! I love Inner Worlds! Sarah is doing good work, too, with a focus on marginalized authors and stories that we sometimes struggle to understand because they come from ND minds and individuals with mental illness different than our own.

Got talking with @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social about the eternal quest for sustainable pay rates. Realized I was describing a chart, so I scraped some stuff from @diabolicalplots.com Submission Grinder and figured I'd share. This represents SEVERAL ecosystems and no value judgments are implied.
