Clarkesworld

Clarkesworld is an online monthly science fiction magazine that has been published since 2006. Founded by Neil Clarke, who has served as publisher and editor-in-chief for the magazine since its inception, Clarkesworld has, in a scant handful of years, become a significant force in the world of genre fiction. The magazine consistently publishes high-quality science fiction, and has featured stories by authors such as Elizabeth Bear, Aliette de Bodard, Kij Johnson, Sarah Monette, Catherynne Valente, and Jeff VanderMeer.

The magazine is available online, through the Clarkesworld website. One can also subscribe to the magazine in a variety of electronic formats. One interesting quirk is that all of them magazine's content is made available in audio format via either their official podcast or by direct download from the website. In addition, all of the fiction published by the magazine is assembled into an annual print anthology that can be purchased from Wyrm Publishing. Finally, individual print issues of the magazine are available on a limited basis, but as far as I can tell, the best way to acquire them is to find Neil Clarke at a convention and buy them directly from him.

Stories from the magazine have been nominated for or won the Hugo Award, Locus Award, Nebula Award, World Fantasy Award, and WSFA Small Press Award. The magazine itself has won the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine three times and Neil Clarke has been nominated for the Hugo Award three times for his editing work.

Realms of Fantasy

A bimonthly magazine focused on fantasy fiction, Realms of Fantasy, like many print periodicals, struggled for its last few years, and finally folded in 2011. It first started publication in 1994 and prospered reasonably well for years, but financial difficulties threatened to close its doors in 2009. It was bought by Tir Na Nog Press in 2009, and continued on until additional losses forced Tir Na Nog to announce in October 2010 that they were going to close it down after the December 2010 issue. The magazine was given a third lease on life when Damnation Press took over the magazine in November 2010 and announced plans to continue publishing it without any substantial break in continuity. Unfortunately, Damnation Press was only able to keep the magazine afloat for another year, and Realms of Fantasy finally published its last issue in October of 2011.

The magazine was a full-size, full color magazine that mostly featured short fiction, but had regular movie and book reviews as well as a column on the mythological underpinnings of many fantasy tropes called Folkroots and usually had a feature focusing on a different artist in the fantasy field in each issue. One primary element of continuity enjoyed by Realms of Fantasy was the fact that Shawna McCarthy, formerly the editor of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, served as fiction editor from its founding to its final issue.
