Crossed Genres , one of the best speculative , short fabrication powder store out there , has announced that they will be shutting down after their December issue , summon a commixture of health and financial issues .
The magazine , which will hunt down for a total of 36 issues , has been a powerful vox in the scientific discipline fiction / fantasy short fiction field by promote diverse and new author . Some of the many authors that they published are Daniel José Older , Wendy Wagner , Cat Rambo , Sandra McDonald , Athena Andreadis , Ryan Britt and other .
Two elementary factor led to this decision . First , one of Crossed Genres ’ carbon monoxide gas - publishers , Kay Holt , has been dealing with Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD ) for more than two years . It ’s made it extremely difficult for her to help oneself with the running of CG , leaving the Panthera leo ’s share of responsibilities on the other cobalt - publishing company , Bart Leib , who ’s also ferment a twenty-four hours job . Magazine co - editor Kelly Jennings , ebook coordinator Casey Seda , and our team of first readers have all been desperate in their military volunteer crusade , but we ’ve still been unable to keep from falling behind .
The 2nd factor is only that the magazine has run out of funds to go on . In April 2014 we ran a successful Kickstarter to keep CG Magazine work , but once another year had passed , roughly 90 pct of those who ’d toast to the Kickstarter chose not to renew their membership . New rank have been no more than a trickle since . We just do n’t have the time , resources , or energy to continuously run fundraisers every year , especially when we also have to fund-raise any other project . lead a fundraiser is an entire project in and of itself – it ’s an draining and overwhelming summons , and we have too few hands to accomplish everything even for the actual publication undertaking we have .
While the magazine is folding , Crossed Genres Publications , its parent society , will not , according to a tweet :
For clarification : we are closing@CrossedGenresMagazine only . We are NOT close down CG altogether !
