A favorite question
of fans is the simple Why do you keep applying the pain of publishing a magazine?
They say there is no money to be made in the small press ‘zine racket. That it is full of hearbreak and despair. And the stress… ye gods, the stress.
Yes, all of these things are true, to an extent.
And yes, I love doing it.
The other question, especially with me pulling the magazine out of hiatus and presenting this a new volume and a new issue number one, is How?
Here’s the part where I say "I am counting on you, Dear Reader."
I have a three-pronged plan of attack. The first is to raise funds via sponsorship and web advertising. We are launching with three different levels of sponsorship ($50/$250/$1000) that grants you certain privileges. Also, we are selling web banner ad space for $25 and tower ad space for $30. If you don’t want to sponsor or don’t have anything you’d like to advertise, then you can always donate to the cause.
The second stream of revenue involves sales of the magazine, either digital PDF sales ($2.50 is our initial price offering) or sales of the magazine in print format via MagCloud.com.
A third source of revenue will be through sales of the anthology The Book of Apex: Volume 1 of Apex Magazine. This anthology contains all the original online fiction published from January 1 st, 2008, through June 30 th, 2009. That’s twenty-four stories, over 100,000 words of concentrated Apex. All proceeds from sales of The Book of Apex go directly to the upkeep of Apex Magazine.
The answer to the question of Who?
this month are authors Glenn Lewis Gillette, Jennifer Pelland, and Jeff Carlson. I think you’ll enjoy their stories as much as the Apex staff did.
I’m dedicating this first issue to the hard working Apex editorial team: Deb Taber, Gill Ainsworth, Sarah Brandel, Mari Adkins, Chris Einhaus, Jennifer Brozek, Maggie Slater, and Justin Stewart. You folks rock!
