Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken

Mar 18th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

There was a bit of interest in my answering some questions via Formspring, so I set up an account. Ask whatever about CG, Little Death, Science in My Fiction, etc. Also, if you have questions about starting a zine from scratch (and the various insanity involved in keeping it going, expanding to new projects, etc) [...]



Formspring from yours truly – interest? Y/N

Mar 17th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

I’ve been considering getting on Formspring and answering questions people might have about small semipro zines (what I can answer, anyway). But I’m not going to unless there’s actual interest.
So what do you think? Want the chance to ask me questions? (I suspect Kay will be willing to answer a few too).



I was looking for offhanded ways to improve us

Mar 15th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

There are TWO new chapters of RJ Astruc’s A Festival of Skeletons up in the Subscribers Area! Subscribers can go here to read them. If you’re not a subscriber, you can read a snippet here, or subscribe for just 83 cents a month!
I got the photos I’d been waiting on, and submitted issue 17 for [...]



Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Mar 12th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

First, some sadness/frustration: Cheryl Morgan, three-time Hugo award winner, non-fiction editor for Clarkesworld magazine, and an all-around terrific person, was denied entry to the US yesterday and deported back to the UK. As she explains in her blog, it seems to have been the result of an idiotic bureaucratic snafu completely beyond her control – [...]



A voice that came from you and me

Mar 5th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

So much going on! It’s been a busy few days!
The release of Issue 16: STEAMPUNK has been very well received. Go, read, enjoy!
But the new issue has been somewhat overshadowed by the very successful opening of Science in My Fiction! SiMF is our new blog intended to “get science fiction and fantasy writers and fans [...]



What a gush of euphony voluminously wells

Feb 27th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

Tomorrow is your LAST CHANCE to send in your submissions for issue 17: ANTIHERO! On Monday we’ll begin accepting submissions for our Eastern issue.
Read issue 4: CRIME before it’s gone forever! It disappears tomorrow night! It was a damned good issue, too! (You can also buy it – only $5, free shipping from Amazon!)
Monday we’re [...]



High adventure that’s beyond compare

Feb 25th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

A fast bullet-points post today, because we’re very busy and I’m exhausted.
1) Sunday is the LAST DAY to submit to the ANTIHERO issue! Thus far subs have been pretty solid – we’re well over last month’s totals – but we need more! We always need more!
2) Also, this is your LAST CHANCE to read Issue [...]



And then they had the nerve to ask, what would I like to be?

Feb 19th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

What a week. Monday was President’s Day, but despite the short work week I feel more exhausted than at the end of a regular week.

Over the last few days I’ve been communicating with several people who are testing out various new versions of the magazine. I’m working on making the magazine available in as many [...]



No time to say goodbye, hello!

Feb 14th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

Boskone is over! it was pretty fun.
Yesterday I met Justine Graykin in person for the first time. Justine’s story Archimedes Nesselrode appeared in our Humor issue back in April. And today I met Scott Andrews, whose story Keeli’s Ordeal is in the current issue: Scott is Editor-In-Chief of the terrific ezine Beneath Ceaseless Skies. We [...]



Saying what I’m doing…

Feb 12th, 2010 | By Bart Leib | Category: CG Blog

Blog posts have been thin recently largely because of a bit of burn-out on our parts; getting issue 15 and Crossed Genres Year One ready for release on the same day, plus all the long-term stuff we’ve been working on, wore us out.
However, we’ve been keeping up! In fact, we’re a little ahead: the print [...]
