Summers are difficult for our bookshop since it's very hot in the Mojave Desert and we don't get many visitors. Typically things get better in Sept but most of the way through the month things have not improved, which is scary. Please consider shopping at our online shop bookshop.org/shop/spaceco...

Sent my submission in tonight.

We're now entering the final week to submit on the theme of Revolution. If you have a story, poem, or article about an uprising or policy that changes our world (or another) for the better, send it our way! www.utopiasciencefiction.com/submit

I'm now beginning to think of interviewees for the next issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social. If there's anyone you'd like to hear from, or questions you'd love answered, please let me know!

On a lighter note, we're really happy that Utopia SF is reaching so many places

Further to this, we regret to announce that a story, written under the pen name, Lucien R. Starchild, and published in an earlier edition of Utopia SF, is strongly believed to have been written using AI tools. The "work" has now been removed from our archives.

We've said it before, but we'll say it again. If you "write" with AI and manage to trick a magazine, you are not just stealing from us. You are stealing a place from a real writer and robbing human connection from a reader. Shame on you!

Man I love seeing @khoreo.bsky.social & @thedeadlands.com on the semiprozine list. My short fiction reading has really dropped off in recent years but I very reliably find the stuff they're doing really exciting.

My story, "Her Hair the Color of a Sun-Red Orange," is in the latest issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social! www.utopiasciencefiction.com/product-page...
