Strange Horizons

Yes, Strange Horizons is a non-profit digital magazine that publishes all of its speculative fiction, poetry, and reviews completely free to read on their website. They are entirely funded by community donations and annual fundraising campaigns to pay their contributing authors professional rates.

Strange Horizons has been nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine multiple times throughout the 2000s and 2010s. They have also won other major literary awards in the science fiction and fantasy community, including the World Fantasy Award for their non-fiction and critical work.

Founded in 2000, the magazine focuses primarily on literary science fiction, fantasy, and slipstream stories that often highlight marginalized perspectives. They specifically seek out experimental writing and diverse voices that have historically been underrepresented in conventional genre publishing.

The magazine was founded in September 2000 by a collective of writers and editors, including Mary Anne Mohanraj, who aimed to create a high-quality, paying market for speculative fiction on the internet. The editorial torch has since been passed down to various respected editors in the sci-fi community.
