Jupiter 36: Sponde

A little bit late announcing this one I'm afraid, but at the end of last month issue 36 was published featuring great fiction from Michael Sutherland, Greg McColm, Alexander Hay, Neal Clift and Dean Giles. Also a wonderful cover by David Conyers. It's available from our website and also from Amazon for Kindle.

Interview at W1S1

I've done a short interview with Simon Kewin for Write 1 Sub 1 which is now up on their site. http://www.write1sub1.com/2012/04/w1s1-interview-with-ian-redman-of.html

Royal Mail price increases

Just realised what a huge effect on magazines the latest Royal Mail price increases are going to have.

It's not pretty.
Everyone in the UK is aware of the 14p increase on a second class stamp. I'm bulk buying in advance to protect from the price rise there, what I hadn't realised was the effect to sending Jupiter abroad.

From 30th April to send a single issue of Jupiter abroad the costs are going to increase like this:
42p extra to send a single issue to Europe
82p extra to send a single issue to America

This is going to have a huge effect on subscribers from abroad. There's no way we can absorb such a large increase. I'm afraid prices will have to rise. I haven't worked out by how much yet, this has literally just hit me, but I think it's going to start signaling the end of paper magazines flying around the world. Electronic publications will be the winners it seems.

If you like your magazines printed, get your low cost subscriptions while you can!

SFcrowsnest review Euporie (issue 34)

You can read the full review here:http://www.sfcrowsnest.com/articles/books/2011/Jupiter-34-XXXIV-Euporie-16438.php

Rod says "we've got a really good selection of stories to read. This magazine keeps producing the goods and you're never disappointed with the selection of fiction on offer. This time there are five short stories, a variety of subjects explored with each one being well written. Satisfyingly good, I would say."

Another good review!
