New Books As Stretch Rewards
We Have Four Pulphouse Collections Planned… With other new books on standby. We will be giving all backers at least these four books as part of the stretch rewards if we hit the the rewards. We will also be giving writing classes as well as stretch rewards for all supporters. All four books are themed collections of Pulphouse stories, so that our authors make a little more money for their stories and their stories get out again to new readers. Plus, to be honest, I have a blast editing these. Why wouldn’t I? I love all the stories. So the link to the campaign is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/403649867/pulphouse-fiction-magazine-subscription-drive-2021 But for fun, today…

A Dip Into the Past…
Looking Through the Twenty Issues of the Original Pulphouse Magazine… In the last Pulphouse Kickstater, we offered a stretch reward that we said would be coming out about now that was a sample of the stories I published back in the original Pulphouse: A Fiction Magazine. So I was putting that together tonight. I quickly came to realize a few things. The small volume I was putting together could not be a best-of volume because there are just far, far too many great stories in those twenty volumes. I needed to pick eight for this short sample of stories from back 30 years. So this would not be a best-of…

Three weeks, like a regular workshop (only half as long and half the price), with three assignments.

Two Days Left
Set Another Stretch Goal! We are almost to our 5th stretch goal, so with two days left, we wanted to set another stretch goal, one that seems a little out of reach, but still possible. So the 6th stretch goal has a Pop-Up Bundle for writers (worth $600) and a nifty anthology for readers. Cattitude. I really hope we hit it because I would love to have everyone get a free copy of this anthology. Cover below. And thanks for all the wonderful support. Help us pass the word for the last two days.

Pulphouse Magazine
Only A Few Days Left… Back in 1987, when Kris and I started Pulphouse Publishing, we could not have imagined that in a short thirty-two years we would be running something called a Kickstarter as a form of subscription drive. Back then, subscription drives for magazines consisted of buying mailing lists and sending out a ton of mailers in hopes of getting one or two percent return. And don’t forget those annoying subscription cards inside magazines that dropped out when you opened them. And back then we had to spend money to have the magazine on magazine racks. The first incarnation Pulphouse Fiction Magazine was on news stands. We lost…
