Issue 018 will be the final issue of Dark Matter
https://darkmattermagazine.shop/pages/magazine
So why close now? Well, there are two simple reasons. One is bandwidth. Starting in 2024, Dark Matter will focus exclusively on our growing trade imprints and audio division. The Dark Matter staff is the most talented and dedicated group of people I've ever worked with, but we're still small in number. In order to continue producing the quality readers have come to expect, I needed to streamline our business model and refresh our focus. The last thing I want is to overextend staff or fail to meet promises made to the readers and contributors that trust us with their time, money, and hard work.
So there's no more magazine, but they'll still be publishing anthologies.
I'm starting to realize that the trick to these things is to get in on the ground early. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do that, as I generally only learn about something after it's already gotten exposure.
I guess you just have to spend a lot of time on Twitter.
