Psst. The goblins are calling.

And they’re offering fruit. Well, poems—but that’s fruit for the soul, right?

Since 2006, Goblin Fruit, edited by Amal El-Mohtar and Jessica Wick, has been offering a delectable selection of fantasy and folklore poems—every quarter. (Full disclosure: I’ve been published in Goblin Fruit in the past and will be appearing there in the future, mostly because I love the zine so much I desperately wanted to be in it.) The poems offer little snippets of beauty and fantasy, magic and fairy tale, anguish and joy, love and hate. Nearly all of them are very very good, and those that aren’t are better.

Goblin Fruit was not, of course, the first or last zine to focus exclusively on speculative poetry—but in an industry more renowned for short lived zines, its record of producing six years of issue after issue of undiminished quality is more than impressive. Please forgive me while I gush a bit more.

Dark Fiction Magazine

Recently a press release popped into my inbox for a new online magazine called Dark Fiction, which specializes in audio short stories for portable enjoyment of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

I thought it would be a handy resource to pull together all those online magazines (whether free readin’ or not) so that we can A) support them and B) go and find lots of lovely fiction and articles to read!

Here is my list—it is far from exhaustive... In the comments it would be awesome if you lovely lot could feedback as to the quality of the magazines listed, and provide links to any that I might have missed.

It’s been conspiculously quiet in the Klima camp the second half of September. There’s one reason for that: Electric Velocipede. I’m trying to get the next issue ready to go to the printer, and it being a double issue and all, it’s taking more effort to get everything done. Most days my brain feels all stretched thing and worn out.

Of course, if I was organized I would have gotten things done several months ago . . . but that didn’t happen so there’s no point in wishing for it.

As it is, I’m up against getting the issue layout finalized, receiving ads, sending the issue out to proofreaders, and a whole legion of other teeny tiny issues that crop up without warning.

So, instead of working on all the things I need to get done with the issue, I thought I’d write a few posts that speak to the steps to getting the issue laid out and sent to the printer.
