IN DETAIL
At this point there isn't a lot to say except that we've been chugging along, watching our green progress bars for various stories...
Authors!
...and illustrations move along! Names have been cropped out so it doesn't feel like we're shaming anybody.
Artists!
We feel on track, and if all goes well then our next update should be in late July to let you know we've sent finished files off to our printer.
By the way...to get them in the issue WE WILL NEED YOUR LETTERS BEFORE JULY 1ST.
So we'd like to remind you that SWORD & STATIONERY will become a new feature in every issue, a chance for you to have your thoughts shared with others in a classic, analog fashion which pulp scholars may read decades from now...
...but only if we get some letters! Here's some guidelines:
Ideally your letter will involve S&S, NESS, and/or writing & publishing...but if you want to ask one of us about our favorite dinosaur it's possible you'll find out!
Questions are more likely to get an answer, but sharing your thoughts on a story, pitching wild theories, and other statements are welcome.
Letters over 200 words long may be edited down for length.

Today is a BIG release day as there's also a 17,000 word novelette by Audrey Stollings coming out, DARK SEA SILVER. It stars breakout character Lathra, a suspiciously long-lived giant of a woman with many mysterious plans…and one humungous boat.
PHEW!
Magazine progress, novellas, a novelette, letters to the magazine...today's a wild day in the land of mighty thews! Don't forget, if you missed the magazine crowdfund our pre-order store is open.
Alright, we'll be in touch again in late July when we've got everything off to the printer! Until then...
