Signal Boost #55 — Strange Horizons Fund Drive with Vanessa Rose Phin!

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! This is a slightly different Signal Boost than usual. Instead of our usual two boosts, this time we want you to focus completely on the super extra important fund drive for the amazing STRANGE HORIZONS!! Today, Jen Zink is joined by by Strange Horizons newest Editor-in-Chief, Vanessa Rose Phin, to talk a little bit about the structure, history, and the voice of Strange Horizons and then, most importantly, their 2020 funding drive on Kickstarter, what the Kickstarter backers can get out of their support, and more! They might have made their base funding goal, but lets get Strange Horizons all the way to the top! Stuff they’re getting now that they weren’t at when we recorded: Mexican SFF issue Climate Change issue What they still want to get that you can get them to in the next 24 hours: 10 CENTS PER WORD PAY RATES FOR WRITERS! LET’S DO IT! And don’t forget, Strange Horizons is a finalist for Best Semiprozine! If you haven’t voted yet, don’t forget to do so NOW!
