Editorial: May 2011: Let’s start with the good news. Working on Salon Futura appears to be good for fertility. When we launched Anne had just given birth to her daughter, Rosie. A couple of months ago Karen announced that she was pregnant. And last week Jonathan’s wife, Kati, gave birth to a son. Congratulations to all. The world needs new book readers, and
Pipeline: April 2011: Alvaro Zinos-Amaro presents some of the books due out in the coming month, as selected by our staff.
Editorial: April 2011: Well, this is an editorial I hoped I wouldn’t have to write for a while. As you probably all know, this is not the best of times to be starting a new business.

Editorial: February 2011: It is a cliché for a magazine editor to say that things are busy, because things are always busy when you are on a monthly schedule. Yet busy I am. Here's a brief run-down of what is going on.
New In Store: January 2011: We have an embarrassment of riches arriving in the store this month. I'd say that I don't know where to start, except that this one is important.

Pipeline: December 2010: As we are now moving into a mid-month release date, some of these books are January releases.
New In Store: December 2010: Lots has been happening on the bookstore front since last issue. We now have a proper bookstore which is gradually filling up with interesting material. Right now it is fairly limited, but I am busy talking to a number of small presses about offering their books.
Editorial: December 2010: As explained last issue, we’ve taken a slightly longer gap between issues this time in order to drift towards a mid-month release date. That way we are not competing for attention with the various other magazines (including Clarkesworld) that come out at the beginning of the month. Also it means I don’t have to worry about producing a magazine in the middle of the holidays.

Editorial: October 2010: September has been an interesting month. Reaction to Salon Futura at Worldcon was very positive, but then I went and won a Hugo as part of the Clarkesworld team and that rather distracted me. I did, however, bag an interview with Jay Lake, which you can find in this issue, and one with Seanan McGuire that we will have up next month.
