Enjoy Your Sci-fi and Fantasy How and Where You Want

Beginning July 4th, science fiction and fantasy fans will be given a new place where they can discover authors and stories they’ll be able to enjoy wherever they go. Flagship, the new e-zine by publisher Flying Island Press, will soon be releasing short stories every other month in formats for the Kindle, the iPad and iPhone, and other electronic readers.

Flying Island Press also recognizes the increasing popularity of podcasts and other forms of audio fiction. So, in addition to the e-zine, an audio version will be available to listen to on any MP3 player. Stories they release will be available both in text and in audio, allowing the consumer to choose their preferred version.

Zach Ricks, managing editor for Flagship, had this to say. “I wanted to hearken back to what some have called the Golden Age of Science Fiction.” It’s his hope that “FlagShip will be a place for optimistic, entertaining fiction.”

Each issue will cost $1.99 for the text version or the audio version or get both for just $2.99.

Issues will be available starting July 4th, 2010 at

The deal

So here is the deal for those of you who still read this. I don't post here very often, and in that I am not a very good blogger. But I can tell that that I have not been idle while you waited for my next update.

This is just a short message to let you know what on July 4th me and a small group of others will be launching a brand new publishing company, Flying Island Press. More over on the 4th we will be releasing the first issue of our SciFi Magazine, Flagship. It will be available in both text and Audio formats. We are currently open for submissions for our second issue. For more details about it check out http://flyingislandpress.com
