Apex Magazine Subscription Drive update: Things have definitely slowed down with the drive. We're currently at 157 new subscribers, which is fantastic, but its also very far from our 300 goal.

If we do not hit 300 new subscribers, we will have to cut the size of each issue. All the details here:

By now you know we need to hit 300 subscribers to keep our current issue size for 2024. But we aren't the only magazine asking for support:

Here’s a story I wrote 4-5 years ago that a dream publication (@strangehorizons.bsky.social) was gracious enough to publish. I reread it for the first time in a while today, and for no reason other than I’m trying to “do the writing thing” again, I’m sharing it.

Over the next two weeks, Apex is doing a push for new subscribers. We need 300 new subscribers to be able to keep publishing issues at the size we currently are. If we don't get that, then beginning in January we have to cut back. Read all the nitty gritty here: apex-magazine.com/apex-blog/it...

Real talk.

We need 300 new subscribers (including renewals) to keep publishing issues at our current size. If we don't get hit that number we will need to scale back the magazine size.

Help us keep our size (or increase it!) over the next two weeks!
