It will be a Sword & Planet poem, chosen through open submissions that we will announce some time not long after the crowdfund ends! Pay will be $50 USD, length is...about what you can fit in half a page of our magazine, and anybody who isn't already being published in NESS this year can submit.
Our next live stream will broadcast starting at 7pm EST on Wednesday, March 5th. This will be a panel discussion as well, covering a little something we like to call Sword & Sorcery. What do we think it is, how has the genre evolved since NESS began, what would we like to see happen, and where might the future lead?
SHIPPING DISCOUNT GETTING CLOSER Scroll down past our poll for what future special issues of NESS should be about, and you'll see that we are 96% of the way to taking $5 USD off Canadian backers' shipping, and $10 USD off the rest of the Not USA world's shipping!
Please keep being awesome as you are, backing and sharing the campaign so that we can do the most we possibly can in the magazine, for our readers, and - once we hit those pay raises - for our contributors.
This stretch goal covers reducing shipping costs for all backers outside the United States: $5 USD off for Canadian backers, and $10 USD off for anyone outside of North America.
Goal: $35,200 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
