2017 Bestsellers So Far
Tags: BestsellersWith Am*zon going big into physical retail (see Whole Foods purchase + opening bookstores) it seems ever more important to me to have an independent ebook website where books, zines, magazines, and journals are available — especially in all-DRM-free formats, instead of being locked into one device or ebook ecosystem.
So thanks, Weightless users and readers one and all for buying good books here!
And what are people reading? The first half of this year was huge for subscriptions: thank you subscribers! There are 18 titles listed on this bestseller list but there are thousands more available, most of which sold at least one copy — yay for the long tail! Here’s a list of 99c ebooks; here’s the changeable list of sale ebooks; here are the bestselling ebooks from one of our favorite presses: ChiZine; and here are the bestselling ebooks on Weightless for the first half of this year:

Locus Spotlight On: Scott H. Andrews
Tags: Beneath Ceaseless Skies
In this month’s issue of Locus they turn the spotlight on Scott H. Andrews publisher of Beneath Ceaseless Skies:
Locus: Give us some background on your magazine Beneath Ceaseless Skies.
SHA: I started BCS in 2008 because the F/SF short fiction field had no dedicated home for literary or character-driven secondary-world fantasy. There were lots of great literary fantasy, slipstream, and magical realism, and decades of great literary SF, but rarely were magazines publishing character-centered or stylistically bold fantasy set in invented worlds.
Beneath Ceaseless Skies 2017 Subscription Drive
Tags: Beneath Ceaseless Skies, subscription drive
by Scott H. Andrews
Our BCS Issue #200 Subscription Drive last year was such a success, we’re having another subscription drive this year!
Since BCS debuted in October 2008, we’ve published 225 issues, 475 stories, and 220 audio podcasts. We’ve been a finalist for five Hugo Awards, six World Fantasy Awards, four Nebula Awards, one BSFA Award, and numerous Aurora, Aurealis, Ditmar, and Parsec Awards. We’ve become the field’s go-to home for character-driven fantasy in secondary-world settings. Locus online says BCS “revived secondary-world fantasy as a respectable subgenre of short fiction… Not a trivial accomplishment.”
And there’s more to come! BCS this year will feature new work by Richard Parks (two stories set in a new world), Margaret Ronald, Rebecca Campbell, Marissa Lingen, Stephen Case, Charles Payseur, Ryan Row, and many promising newcomers. Plus a new Science-Fantasy Month and a new Birdverse novella this summer by Nebula finalist Rose Lemberg, twice as long as any piece BCS has ever published.
Ebook subscriptions to BCS are only $15.99 for a full year/26 issues. (That’s less than 30 cents a story!) Subscribers can have issues delivered directly to their Kindle or smart phone, and they get new issues early, a week before the website.
From now until June 2, when you buy a BCS ebook subscription or renew your existing subscription (you can renew at any time), you will help unlock our drive goals.
Since BCS #1 in 2008, over a third of our fiction has been novelette-length or longer. Longer stories work great to show awe-inspiring fantasy worlds, like you’ll find in every issue of BCS. Our word-count limit for submissions has always been among the longest of pro-rate online magazines, and last year as a goal unlocked by our subscription drive, we made it even longer: 11,000 words.
With your help, this year we’d like to make it longer still!
Every subscription makes a difference in helping us pay our authors, for their great stories of all lengths. Thank you for your support of BCS!

Apex Magazine 2016 Subscription Drive
Tags: Apex Magazine, subscription drive

Apex Publications is happy to announce our dates, goals, and rewards for the 2016 Apex Magazine subscription drive.

This year’s drive will run for three weeks – October 24th to November 15th. Full information and updates on how we are doing can be found at http://www.apex-magazine.com/apex-magazine-2016-subscription-drive/
After a very successful subscription drive last November, 2016 has been an absolutely amazing year for Apex Magazine. Looking to 2017, we want build on this year’s success and make it even more spectacular!
To do this we’ve set this year’s Apex Magazine subscription drive goal at $10,000.
By hitting this goal we would be able to go from 12,000 words of original fiction to 16,000 words in each issue. We could also raise the rate that we pay for original fiction and for cover art.
We feel this goal is well within reach, but not without the support of our readers and fans. As an added incentive, we’ve set up rewards that will unlock additional content for the January, 2017 issue of Apex Magazine, creating a double issue as a thank you to all of our supporters.
We already have an impressive lineup of original fiction scheduled for January. Stories by James Beamon, Lia Swope Mitchell, Iori Kusano, and J.J. Litke. The issue will feature two poems, a reprint, and interviews with an Apex author and our cover artist. Our cover artist for January will be Aaron Nakahara.
As we reach goals in our subscription drive we will add the following to the January issue, as well as a couple of rewards that will continue in every issue all year long:
Wow! That is a lot of bonus content with some seriously amazing writers! Help us publish the most epic issue to date and ensure that 2017 will another amazing year for Apex Magazine!
How? Between October 24th and November 15th:
APEX PUBLICATIONS (www.apexbookcompany.com) is a small press dedicated to publishing exemplary works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Owned and operated by Jason B. Sizemore, Apex publishes the thrice Hugo Award-nominated Apex Magazine. The Apex catalog contains books by genre luminaries such as Damien Angelica Walters, Catherynne M. Valente, and Brian Keene.
Lontar 7 Interview: Zen Cho
Tags: Interviews, Lontar, Zen Cho
To celebrate the seventh issue of LONTAR, we have an exclusive short interview by editor Jason Erik Lundberg with Zen Cho, whose “七星鼓 (Seven Star Drum)” is the lead-off story. Cho is the award-winning author of Sorcerer to the Crown and Spirits Abroad, and editor of Cyberpunk: Malaysia.
Jason Erik Lundberg: Your story “七星鼓 (Seven Star Drum)” is a companion piece to “起狮，行礼 (Rising Lion–The Lion Bows)”, which was published by Strange Horizons and also features lion dancers who bust ghosts. What is the cultural importance of lion dancers in Malaysia and other parts of Asia?
Zen Cho: The kind of lion dance that’s most common in Malaysia is the Chinese Southern Lion style. You see it most at Chinese New Year, but also when a new Chinese business opens. It’s meant to bring good luck, and I think maybe the lion chases away bad spirits as well. I might be mixing that up with fireworks, though. I never thought too much about the cultural importance of lion dance when I was growing up; I just liked watching it. There’s something really exciting and special about seeing a lion dance—I tried to capture some of that feeling in these two stories.
Q. You’ve mentioned that you were a member of the Cambridge University Lion Dance Troupe from 2006 to 2008. How did your experiences there inform the conceit of this story? And what role did you have in the troupe?
We performed at a hotel once for a company Christmas party they were hosting, and because it was quite a new hotel the owners, who were Chinese, had us bless some of the rooms while we were at it. There weren’t any ghosts, but that was the experience that inspired “起狮，行礼(Rising Lion–The Lion Bows)”. I wrote “七星鼓 (Seven Star Drum)” while I was chewing over that story, to explain how the ghost-busting lion dance troupe had been founded.
When I was in CULDT I was mostly on the cymbals, which are a really easy job you can give a rank beginner. I think I only played the drum in a public performance once, and I never did the lion—you have to hold that kungfu horse stance the whole time, which is really tiring! I was also the secretary of the troupe, which meant I managed the emails.
Q. Before Boris encounters lion dancers as a child, he is terrified of the spiritual world, which he can sense because of the “extra membrane around his brain that filtered in things other people didn’t see”. How integral is the everyday relationship with the supernatural to ordinary Malaysians?
I can’t answer questions on behalf of ordinary Malaysians! I can only speak for myself. I do have a friend who has an extra membrane around their brain which gives them supernatural powers. I stole their membrane for the story.
Q. Are there any plans to write more stories about these characters or within this premise?
No. I wrote the stories mainly because I thought it would be a shame not to use all this useful jargon I’d learnt from being in a lion dance troupe. Now I feel I’ve made good use of that life experience.
Q. Which authors either from Southeast Asia or writing about Southeast Asia do you enjoy reading? Could you give examples of particular works?
I like Farish Noor’s essays on Malaysian and Southeast Asian history—they’re academic but really accessible—and I’m really excited about Komik Maple’s comics. I’ve only read Mimi Mashud’s Kuala Terengganu in Seven Days and Amir Hafizi’s Scenes of the Father so far, but I’m looking forward to picking up the collection they’ve done of the webcomic Komik Ronyok, as well as Stephanie Soejono’s Tale of the Bidadari. When it comes to novels, I’m looking forward to reading Selina Siak Chin Yoke’s The Woman Who Breathed Two Worlds, a historical novel about the life of a Peranakan woman in Malaya, and I admire Preeta Samarasan’s work—she’s got such a mastery of language. I’m really interested to see how she’ll follow Evening is the Whole Day.
Q. Shameless self-promotion time: what is next on the publication horizon for Zen Cho?
I’m working on my next novel! I can’t talk about it too much as it’s still at a fairly protean stage. I’m hoping it’ll be a worthy follow-up to Sorcerer to the Crown!

PORTRAITS AT AN EXHIBITION, published by Lethe Press, has been selected as the recipient of the 2016 Art in Literature Award, co-sponsored by the Library of Virginia and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The award goes to “an outstanding book published in the previous year that is written primarily in response to a work (or works) of art while also showing the highest literary quality as a creative or scholarly work.
The Art in Literature Award is named in honor of author and journalist Mary Lynn Kotz, a longtime contributing editor for ARTnews magazine, whobuilt a career interviewing, researching, writing, and lecturing about art and artists, including Georgia O’Keeffe and John Cage. Her critically acclaimed book Rauschenberg/Art and Life (Abrams) balances deft observations of craft with a biographer’s chronicle of the American artist.

We CoSigned This Letter to the FCC
Tags: DRM-free—yay!, EFFThe Electronic Frontier Foundation just sent a great letter to the FTC in the US asking them to get retailers to label electronic products that are DRM’d. Why does this matter? Have you ever bought a book, song, or video (or even a cat litter box!) and tried to play it 5 years later only to find the software is no longer supported and the manufacturer does not exist? It happens surprisingly often. If your book/song/movie is free of Digital Rights Management software guff then you’re home free. But if it’s locked into some long dead system: good luck.
We are proud to cosign the letter. You can read more about it here, “EFF to FTC: Online Retailers Must Label Products Sold with Digital Locks” and read the letter below,
