WHY KICKSTARTER?

In 2019, Apex Magazine was forced into hiatus following our editor-in-chief’s health problems. In mid-2020, sporting freshly installed titanium parts, the zine’s cyborg editor reclaimed the Apex empire with the help of 779 incredible Kickstarter backers and an amazing team of editors (Lesley Conner, Maurice Broaddus, and Shana DuBois).

Ten years and 120 issues of momentum and subscriptions were abruptly lost because of our unexpected closure.

Kickstarter has not only helped us reclaim the momentum we lost but has brought us closer to sustainability while reaching all of our goals. It’s also brought us to our people and finding our community at large.

You had me at Apex Magazine. Take me to Kickstarter!

FUNDING BREAKDOWN

Our funding goal of $12,000 will secure issues 136, 137, and 138—this includes paying our writers, artists, etc. as well as covering our overhead costs like Kickstarter fees, website and podcasting hosting, paying our editorial staff, and more.

You can also look forward to original fiction from our six Commitment to Quality authors throughout 2023.

• Jordan Kurella (I Never Liked You Anyway, When I Was Lost)
• Suyi Davies Okunbowa (Son of the Storm, Warrior of the Wind)
• Christopher Rowe (Telling the Map, The Navigating Fox)
• Sarah Hollowell (A Dark and Starless Forest)
• Sara Tantlinger (The Devil’s Dreamland: Poetry Inspired by H.H. Holmes, Cradleland of Parasites)
• Aurelius Raines II (Dead Inside: Poetry and Essays about Zombies, Black Power: A Superhero Anthology)

Let’s secure this thing. Take me to Kickstarter!
