Made with love for the classics, and an inclusive, boundary-pushing approach to storytelling!
We're funding two issues of New Edge Sword & Sorcery magazine.
Each issue will hold approx. 45,000 words of Sword & Sorcery fiction, as well as interviews, essays, book reviews, and more!
NESS uses a flexible, classic three column layout.
All of these wonderful words are paired with...
GORGEOUS ART
Cropped art samples from our 2023 issues, drawn by artists returning in 2024. Credits from top to bottom: Sapro, Trevor Ngwenya, Saprophial, Matthew Spencer, and Dan Rempel.
A different artist for each story or article, in a wide variety of styles!
All physical copies are printed traditionally, on spacious 8.5 x 11 inch pages, using high quality paper,
Hardcovers use durable sewn-stitch binding, allowing you to lay your book perfectly flat.
Bookmark ribbons are also included.
When properly taken care of, our physical issues can last a lifetime! And you'll want that, because this is an opportunity to....
BE A PART OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING
JIREL OF JOIRY...
Art by Saša Đurđević
...was the first Sword & Sorcery heroine, created by legendary Weird Tales regular, C.L. Moore.
Catherine Lucille Moore
Like Alice in Wonderland with a big f***ing sword, Jirel had compelling adventures in bizarre dream-logic realms, balancing a rich emotional life with terrifying struggles against dark forces!
Alas, Moore only wrote a handful of Jirel tales - which are still collected, published, and read to this day.
BUT WHEN YOU FUND THESE ISSUES
JIREL WILL RETURN
WITH HER FIRST NEW STORY
IN ALMOST 85 YEARS!
Authorized by the estate of C.L. Moore, this story has been written by the magnificent MOLLY TANZER (editor of Swords v. Cthulhu, author of Creatures of Charm and Hunger, and so much more).
Molly Tanzer
It's twice as long as our usual stories, around 12,000 words, and will feature twice as much art - maybe even four times as much art if we hit our first stretch goal!
WHY BACK THE CAMPAIGN?
Sometimes people like to wait and get the thing later, after the campaign. Here's why you don't want to do that:
This crowdfund is jam-packed with exclusive rewards available only during the campaign!
You'll help unlock stretch goals like Double Art and International Shipping Discount.
You pay for shipping separately, several months later.
A great way to get caught up! Previous issues will be available in digital & softcover as Add-Ons, for which the shipping is also paid later.
FreePDF & ePub formats with physical reward tiers. Later, they'll be sold separately.
You'llget your issues before they're available in stores.
BETTER HIT THAT "FOLLOW" BUTTON!
...to make sure you don't miss out on special rewards for those who back the campaign in its first 48 hours.
Heck, there'll even be a special, one-of-a-kind reward for our very FIRST backer!
