Back in 2023, I dipped my toe into the magazine industry. This first issue release on 1/31 was a great, but exhaustive experience for me. I met some great talent and found a strong network of indie horror writers on the net and through social media.
I didn’t pursue the project as I already had a lot on my plate: family, full-time job, low budget, and an onslaught of story projects I wanted to do and finish (like my epic fantasy series, The Wyvernshield Series).
While it is three years later, and I do still have a lot of the same obstacles, I am really excited by this endeavor and determined to make this go-around a much better success.
Yesterday, I completed the online setup: you can find my online magazine at WithMaliceMagazine.com.
Each quarterly issue will have three to four stories (3,000-3,500 words each), unique, original cover art, writing craft articles, an author interview, book reviews, book recommendations, fan artwork, and book ads. I would also like to establish an annual writing challenge for a grand prize!
If you’d like to send in a submission, here are the guidelines.
Ebook versions will be $7.99, paperback versions (only in the continental US) will be $17.99 (Yearly subscriptions will be offered at $28 for for all four ebooks, $64 for all four paperbacks). Shipping and taxes are not included. All paperback copies will be on sale at Books.by.
I hope to continue to bring you my novels (like the Eclipse Series and Beneath the Skin, a new phobia anthology), but this magazine will be my primary focus.
Take a chance, roll the dice to see if you’ll be brave enough to finish each issue!
