You may have noticed that we've started reviewing online SF/F zines alongside books and the usual stuff at http://reviews.futurefire.net/
We're going to try to do more of this, and I could use your help in a couple of ways…
(1) I have a list of a couple dozen zines that are in our queue, but please give us more. Tell me about your online zine and we'll add it to the list. (If it's not free, the editor should email and confirm offer of an e-copy for a reviewer.)
Ideally send deets in the format:
Title, editor. Issue (date). Online at <url>. (Tagline)
e.g. "The Future Fire, ed. Djibril al-Ayad. Issue 54 (July 2020). Online at < http://futurefire.net >. (Social-political SF webzine)"
Title, editor. Issue (date). Online at <url>. (Tagline)
e.g. "The Future Fire, ed. Djibril al-Ayad. Issue 54 (July 2020). Online at < http://futurefire.net >. (Social-political SF webzine)"
(2) If you'd be interested in occasionally reviewing online SF zines (or other titles) for us, we'd love to have more reviewers on our team. Drop me a note with a bit about what you like and your writing experience.
The email address for both (1) and (2) can be found on our guidelines page at http://reviews.futurefire.net/p/guidelines.html ; queries here on Twitter also fine.
(also sneaky (3) if anyone else reviews e-zines not for us, ᵖˡᵉᵃˢᵉ would you consider reviewing an issue of TFF some time?)
Which e-zines would you like to see a review of?
Which e-zines do you read? Would you like to review an issue?
Upping this thread a bit the next couple days. We'll soon be sending our September listing of titles available to reviewers, so this is a good time to (a) give me things to put on that list, (b) volunteer to be on the team receiving the list
For the record: if you offer us physical copies or non-free e-books, we won't ask you to send anything until/unless a reviewer has been assigned.
Also fyi: reviewers can review as seldom or as often as they like/are able. We don't pay for reviews. We're happy to provide feedback and editorial guidance. Reviews tend to the long, critical (in the sense of analytic), and in-depth.
