Interesting magazine. I thought I give it a shout out since it doesn’t appear to me of being well known. This is magazine take the anthology mag format but adapt it to non-fiction so you get interview with authors, essays, excerpts and stuff like that around the sff world. The team behind it seem to do a decent job and if this is something that you’re into then have a look. Not sure how many or how often they published. It seem fairly new (might be the first one) but I could be wrong. It’s also very affordable which is important for a boo/mag like that.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a copy in return for an honest review.
I was a little hesitant with this collection when I realized it was essays and not short stories. However, there were a lot of really interesting articles and interviews here and I feel like I learned quite a bit about the SFF community. While all of the articles and interviews are well written, a reader's enjoyment of the content here is definitely going to depend on their familiarity and interest in the subject before starting the collection. That being said, the collection does a good job of covering a wide variety of topics and authors, so there is definitely something for everyone to enjoy here.

I was approved for an ARC of this through NetGalley.
I absolutely loved this! I’m getting more into SciFi each time I read it, however, this is a “nonfiction”/“magazine” ABOUT SFF (scifi & fantasy).
As someone who is pursuing a journalism degree I loved everything about this. I loved the mixed media format of it - essays, excerpts, and, mostly, the interviews!
A few of my favorites were the interview with R. F. Kuang, writer of “The Poppy War”. She’s only in her mid-twenties for starters!!
Another favorite was the essay on cats in sci-fi.
Seriously, worth the read!
