Project Update: A Successful Launch!
Greetings, backers and other friends of Strange Horizons!
We want to thank everyone for making the first day of our 2026 Fundraiser, our first using BackerKit as a platform, a success. At the time that I'm writing this, about 8.5 hours after launching this year's campaign, we are at 24% of our funding goal! Thank you to everyone who helped get us there.
We also unlocked 4 pieces today in our Fund Drive 2026 special issue of Strange Horizons! The first piece is a review by Akankshya Abismruta of the Korean novel Red Sword by Bora Chung and translated by Anton Hur. The second was a poem "The Dream of Jeannie" by Marie Brennan, winner of the first ever Hugo Award for Best Poem. Our third piece was an essay, by writer, artist, and game designer Gwen Katz, called "The Many Metaphors of Lycanthropy." And our fourth piece, unlocked when we hit $5000 raised, was "For a Handful of Salted Teeth" by Marisca Pichette.
We've got many more great pieces scheduled to be unlocked as we approach our funding goal! And we still have many great rewards yet to be claimed! Thanks again for a great start!
