Strange Horizons

📢 It's here! The Strange Horizons Fund Drive 2026 has begun! 📢 Help us raise the $20,000 we need to fund our fiction, poetry, and non-fiction for next year! Beyond that are amazing stretch goals including some compelling special issues! Donate ⬇️ kickstarter.com/projects/stran…

ONLY 3 DAYS left in the Strange Horizons Fund Drive 2026! Eyeing that signed book or Kickstarter-exclusive patch? Now is the time to pledge! Don't forget that you can also support a work directly by donating towards the cost of a story, poem, review or artwork! Link in bio!

The Fund Drive still has signed books available: Victories Greater Than Death signed by Charlie Jane Anders Rakesfall signed by Vajra Chandrasekera The River Has Roots signed by Amal El-Mohtar Her Body and Other Parties signed by Carmen Maria Machado and lots more!

I’m excited to share my poem, “Parallels,” published recently in @strangehorizons’ Afrosurreal special issue! It’s a long-form narrative poem that slips between timelines. Read here: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/poet… Grateful to the editors for holding space for my poem. 💙

There's only two weeks left in the Strange Horizons Fund Drive to keep us publishing in 2026! We are at $14k and need to make it to our goal of $20k. We can only get there with your donations! If you already donated, you can still share to help us extend our reach!

Kickstarter UPDATE! You can now choose to support the publication of a poem, story, review or artwork as an add-on, so you don't have to choose whether to get a cool signed book or support a piece of work. You also don't have to stick to supporting just one!

We've just reached $7,500 (37.5% of our base goal), and can unlock the next piece in the fund-drive special issue: Amritesh Mukherjee's review of Mickey7. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/non-… PS. At $10K, we'll publish an interview with Nicola Griffith (among others). To help us get there:

You should absolutely give these folks your money

Strange Horizons has been one of the best spec magazines for more than two DECADES. They’ve supported diverse voices from the start and are always the first place I go for spec poetry. I’ve donated and if you love spec short fic/poetry, this is a great investment in its future.

We have just crossed 25% of our base funding goal -- thank you! It also means that we can unlock the next piece in our fund-drive special issue: "View Window", a new story by A.T. Greenblatt: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fict… To get us to our next milestone: kickstarter.com/projects/stran…

Were you wondering how cool our Kickstarter exclusive patch is this year? 😏 Check it out below! Get your very own by donating $75 to our Kickstarter!

Thank you to all our donors - within 24 hours of the fund-drive starting, we've crossed 100 donors, and 20% of our base goal. This means we can also publish our next piece in the fund-drive special issue: a brilliant essay by Ian Muneshwar, on despair - strangehorizons.com/wordpress/non-…
