Back in October 2023, Fantasy Magazine sadly stopped publishing. Starting this summer, however, the magazine will be coming back as a publication of Psychopomp, with Arley Sorg and Shingai Njeri Kagunda serving as co-editors-in-chief.
The magazine will publish quarterly, and will include a selection of short fiction, flash fiction, and poetry. Sorg, who was a co-editor of Fantasy previously, has received two community service awards and is a three-time Locus Award finalist and a two-time World Fantasy Award finalist. Kagunda has Ignyte and British Fantasy Award nominations, and her work as co-editor at PodCastle earned her two Hugo nominations as well.
Psychopomp is known for its website, psychopomp.com, and is the publisher behind several novellas and The Deadlands magazine. Fantasy will be housed under their existing website, similar to The Deadlands. You can read more about the genesis of the relaunch by reading the post publisher Sean Markey posted here.
The first issue of Fantasy Magazine from Psychopomp is set to come out on June 1, 2025. You can become a subscriber at $5 a quarter by clicking here. If you’re a paying subscriber, you’ll receive exclusive content leading up to the official first issue and receive the collected works in epub format as quarterly magazine issues.
If you’re interested in submitting, the guidelines to do so are here. They will be open to submissions from January 22-25 for BIPOC authors only and open January 26-29, 2025, for general submissions.
