Fund Drive 2016: The Final Total
Added 2016-10-18 07:25:52 +0000 UTC... drumroll please ...
$19,752!
That's from 453 donors, or, including those of you who were patron-ing here last year and have stuck around, 678 -- and that second number is a new record for the number of people involved in a fund drive. Thank you all!
What that means is:
- Strange Horizons is fully funded for 2017 at the same level as this yaer
- In addition, as of 1 January 2017, pay for reviews goes up from $30 to $40
- And we'll be publishing our full planned Spanish SF special at the end of this month, on 31 October
- And we've raised $1,752 besides for translation-related projects!
Obviously that last number isn't everything we were aiming for -- but it's certainly not nothing. We'll talk to the Samovar team about what the best way to use that money is.
We also didn't reach our interactive fiction goal, but we haven't given up on funding that either. We have a grant application in that would cover one issue of sub-Q, if awarded, and will be exploring other funding routes as well.
In the meantime: thank you all so much for supporting us here, and for helping to promote the magazine over the last five weeks. Patreon has really helped to give us a more steady financial base over the last year, and long may it continue!

That's great news! Congratulations, not only on the success of the campaign, but also on the brilliant work that SH does, and that makes people want to support it in the first place.
