And since I've been asked, it's not a matter of where you subscribe. Digital subscriptions tend to be best for us everywhere. Yes, we offer print, but the rates are in constant conflict with the increasing printing, shipping, and materials costs. Our revenue there is much less reliable.

No one in short fiction is getting rich. Most (all here) are terribly underpaid. We're putting 100% of all new subscription income towards improved pay across the board. We love our jobs, but a job should help you pay your bills. So you're not just subscribing. You're helping us. Thanks!

Churn. It's the term for the subscribers you lose due to cancellations, credit card problems, etc. It's the riptide that pulls magazines out to sea. Each month we look for new subscribers to get us back to shore and, if we're lucky, maybe even to the car.

Anytime I do some subscription marketing, I feel like I should apologize. Thing is, if we don't market, we don't survive. I'd like to keep doing this job, even with all the "AI" nonsense we deal with. So...

Give the gift of short fiction this holiday season.
