In my posting the other day about June magazines, I mentioned the Jeffrey Ford
Locus magazine always seems to arrive right around the first of the month -- it's gotten to be a joke around here, it must be the First because Locus is here! And then I disappear for a while reading the thing from cover to cover on the spot. About the only magazine that I do take the time to read cover to cover the moment I get it, which tells you something about my opinion about the magazine. (grin)
If you're a SF/F/H fan, it's a good source for what's coming, along with interviews and news & photos from the big conventions and events -- you get to see what a lot of authors look like.
If you're a SF/F/H writer, especially one who has never submitted anything anywhere, you'll learn some stuff about how the business works. And who's who.
To me, it's a perfect confluence -- and a necessary part of my writerly "pre-lab". (double-trouble-grin)
Anyway, you're welcome.
