PS to get a Postscript
23/09/2003 . Source: Jessica Martin 
PS Publishing launch a new SF&F magazine with Arts Council money. Wow, Pete Crowther - the owner of the very quality small-press PS Publishing - has stuck grant gold and convinced the Arts Council of England to pony up enough folding green stuff to launch a new genre fiction magazine.
Called 'Postscripts' - a working title apparently, so possibly subject to change before launch - each issue will contain c, 60,000 words of short fiction and book reviews.
The launch issue line-up should include work by Ramsey Campbell, Gene Wolfe, Michael Marshall Smith, Ian McDonald, Graham Joyce, Peter Hamilton, Steven Erikson and Harlan Ellison. Containing mainly SFF and horror, the title will also feature some crime and suspense content.
It should hit the streets about May 2004, followed by number two in August 2003.
It'll be interesting to see if their blended content approach works, as Interzone eventually had to fold its standalone companion crime fiction title for lack of sales legs. Possibly by combining the two, it'll appeal to both ... although there must be a risk by 'doubling up' it'll also put off a small element of readers from both sides of the genre fence.
Prices should be around the £5.00/$8.00 level.
In a similar fashion to PS's book runs, where they produce a small run of exquisitely produced but very 'premium' priced volumes for collectors and hyper-fans, PS will be knocking out a 100-edition limited run of a hardback version of the magazine, priced at £50.00 or $80.00 for you US types.
Ouch. But as always, it's sure to be a work of beauty.
