Devastating. FIYAH was the first home for my short fiction. FIYAH has been more than just a magazine, it's a movement. Unapologetically creating space for Black spec fic, sharing their platform and creating the tools for accountability and transparency in the SFFH short fiction ecosystem.
DaVaun Sanders@davaun.bsky.social · 3mo agoDifficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.
I legit feel so lucky to exist in the same timeline as this film, this performance.
