I am sad to report that Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show will be pulling up stakes in June 2019. I've been a reader since the first issue, and on the staff since 2009. My kids have grown up with the magazine in their lives, and I am fiercely proud of all that we've accomplished.

I am also very, very pleased with the state of science fiction and fantasy in general today. When IGMS first rolled onto the scene, online magazines were few and far between. Now the main mode of consumption of short SFF literature is online in one form or another (podcasts, e-issues, webpages, etc). And the voices of SFF today are vibrant, strident, beckoning, beseeching, screeching, awesome myriads. We have been a part of that polysymphonic wonder. We were one of the first to tell our truest lies on the brave digital frontier.

Here are the nitty-gritty details of the closure:

The following issues will be published:

Feb/March (this issue) 2019
April/May 2019
June/July 2019
