Dear Readers,
Happy Holidays! We are back with four brand new stories, never published before! We also have an especially strong lineup of authors this month. Our story topics include gay lovers and the undead, a mysterious alien hitchhiker, a battle between two immortals and a river marriage. At least one of these topics will recur in our next issue, so stay tuned for more!
Our holiday fundraising drive is also now in effect! Expanded Horizons wants to take the next step in publishing and go “semi-pro”! If everyone who read our magazine gave $5, we would have enough money to cover all of next year’s expenses, and to increase the pay rate for our contributors. If everyone gave $10, we could go semi-pro for all stories.
Please show your support of diverse speculative fiction this holiday season and help us take that step. If you’ve been reading us all year and enjoy what we publish, please show your appreciation by contributing to our sustainability.
Thank you!

Dear Readers,
We are back after the holiday break with three new stories – two by repeat authors and one whose work we are publishing for the first time.
This is a quite bloody issue – in one story, you will be able to witness the magical twist in a battle between Malaysian villagers and Portuguese invaders, while in another, you will see a powerful young dragon-like creature clash with humans – from the dragon’s point of view. We also have a third story, a romantic tale with dark and mystical undertones.
Enjoy the new issue and please donate if you appreciate our efforts,

Dear Readers,
After some delay, our new issue is finally online, with four fascinating stories! We are proud to showcase three authors of color, one of whom has her first ever publication with us. We wish her success in her writing career!
Our July issue also includes a story that directly calls out common racist stereotypes in SF. We seldom publish similar material, but for reasons explained on the story page, we felt that this was warranted.

Dear Readers,
Our new issue contains two lengthy stories and a fascinating poem. This time we have both seasoned writers and an author with a first publication – we are very pleased to get submissions from people with all sorts of backgrounds!
In this issue you will meet a djinn who definitely does not live in a lamp, witness the secret life of a gumiho (not a kitsune!) and learn about the difficulties of opening a window on the past while operating on a shoestring budget.

Dear Re
aders,
Our new issue is online, this time with an interesting mix of content: two stories, a poem and a book review! We are pleased to present two new authors in addition to two authors we have previously published. We could also call this our Octavia Butler issue: in addition to a book of interviews with her discussed in our reviews section, we also have a contributor who’s a former recipient of the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship!

Dear Readers,
Our December issue is online – as promised, featuring interviews with Muslim/Arab authors we have previously published!
We also have a surprise for you: from now on, we are going to dedicate every December issue to interviews along a theme! We are planning on having a country-based theme next December, focusing on a country with lots of accepted submissions in the upcoming year. So if you want to see your country represented, submit your best work and tell your local friends to submit too!
If all goes well, the magazine will see lots of changes next year, including new formats for mobile reading devices and new ways to support our efforts including the ability to buy EH merchandise. We are already working on these and hopefully you’ll see the results fairly soon!
Stay tuned,
- The Expanded Horizons Team
