This is the second time I've seen an issue with the publisher of Hedone books not paying authors. The first time it wasn't under the name Hedone.

And to see that was an all BIPOC antho?

I'm upset on behalf of these writers.

Please make it gayer and more trans and stranger and more unabashedly you than you think would usually be accepted. WE want that kind of shit.

Get more from Beneath Ceaseless Skies on Patreon creating an online fantasy magazine & podcast

BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to pay our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium ($125/mo). Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But less than 1% of BCS readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/3

Everlasting - PSYCHOPOMP.COM In more ways than one, Death looks like my mother.

new fiction today, beloveds!!

and it's a stunner

"Moments before Death comes for me, I contemplate my body like a stranger. I feel a sloppy mixture of numbness and self-pity. My gaunt frame sinks deeper into the hospital bed."

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

I don't like giving advice but I would have liked to hear this when I started submitting work.

Writers, you should never pay to submit to a magazine. Its insulting, devalues your work and reinforces the starving artist rhetoric.

You deserve to be paid for your art.

Hexagon Hiatus I have edited 19 (soon to be 20) issues of my favourite magazine of all time, but it’s time to say goodbye (for now). I started Hexagon as a project to gain editing experience and to improve my own…

Hexagon has been my most incredible creative venture thus far, but it’s time to say goodbye (for now).
