Thanks, Stephanie 💙

Sorry again, amigo! Definitely has taken way longer than I ever imagined, but this is what I get for being a stubborn asshole and doing everything by myself, lmao

Thanks for your understanding, your patience, and I love ya all

One day, when both my feet are firmly planted, I’d love to do an anthology of the magazine, to get authors paid and to capture the essence of the mag. And maybe, if I can manage it, I’d like to turn CS into a small press or imprint.

But I need time to get balanced and in a healthy place for that

Cold Signal won’t go away forever by any means, but it’s never meant to be a venue that keeps regular hours and turns a profit. It was meant to be a gallery space for great writing, and it’s been that, and I’m proud of it.

Full honesty: I’m spread thin. I’m working two jobs and dealing with a lot of personal issues, and if you follow my personal account you’ve probably been made aware I’m hanging on for dear life.

Hey bud, still in the works. Have had to put everything CS on the back burner the last few months. Apologies for the delay. Hoping to get to it soon, but the novelettes will likely be the last of CS for a while, at least until I’m done working two jobs

Also this gives us all more time to read and appreciate everyone in the three massive and filled with bangers issues on the site hahaha

I’d also like to, if I can afford it, join SFWA and HWA and whatever else I need to do to promote Issue 3 and novelette peeps come award seasons

I will say from what I’ve read, there’s a LOT of good shit here, and way more submissions than I was expecting, so kinda thinking I might do novelette fall and winter and wait to do the next full issue till 2026???

Thanks so much for reading and sharing! Spencer wrote a gorgeous one here

Sure! Just preferably only submit one, longer submissions this go round means no wiggle room on submitting multiples (gotta protect my sanity lol)

next time!!!
