Uncanny Magazine Subscription Drive 2020
The four-time Hugo Award-winning Uncanny Magazine is once again recruiting for its Space Unicorn Ranger Corps! We named the Uncanny Kickstarter backers the Space Unicorn Ranger Corps after our amazing Space Unicorn mascot. Now, you can become a member of the Corps by subscribing here at Weightless Books!
This is the perfect time to join because Uncanny is going on sale! From May 1-15, a year’s subscription to Uncanny Magazine is $2 less than the typical current cover price (only $21.88)! It’s the least expensive way to subscribe we offer.
Each bimonthly issue of Uncanny contains new and classic speculative fiction, poetry, essays, art, and interviews. We seek out and share pieces we can’t stop thinking and talking about, because of how they make us feel. We’re also deeply committed to finding and showcasing fantastic works by writers from every possible point of view and background.
We debuted Issue One of Uncanny in November 2014 and we’ve been thrilled with how things have gone so far. We’ve included original contributions from phenomenal authors such as Neil Gaiman, N .K. Jemisin, Naomi Novik, Maria Dahvana Headley, Max Gladstone, Ken Liu, Sam J. Miller, Sofia Samatar, Catherynne M. Valente, Elizabeth Bear, John Chu, Kameron Hurley, Charlie Jane Anders, Ursula Vernon, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Chris Kluwe, Hao Jingfang, Mary Robinette Kowal, Seanan McGuire, Rachel Swirsky, E. Lily Yu, Sarah Pinsker, Fran Wilde, Vina Jie-Min Prasad, plus many newer voices.
Uncanny won Best Semiprozine Hugo Awards in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 while Hao Jingfang’s story “Folding Beijing” (translated by Ken Liu) won the Best Novelette Hugo Award in 2016, and Editors-in-Chief Lynne M. Thomas and Michael Damian Thomas won the 2018 Best Editor- Short Form Hugo Award.
This year, Uncanny is once again a Best Semiprozine Hugo finalist along with the Thomases for Best Editor- Short Form. Plus, three Uncanny stories are finalists for Hugo Awards and four Uncanny stories are finalists for a Nebula Awards. We can’t wait for you to read what’s coming next!
