I just saw the press release for a new online SF magazine called Lightspeed.

It looks top-notch–the editors will be John Joseph Adams and Andrea Kail, the publisher is Prime Books (who publishes Fantasy Magazine), and the artwork on the site looks very cool.

I’m all for online fiction, of course.  And I think that, in this age of declining short fiction readership, ‘zines with a more niche focus may be a stronger lure to readers than ‘zines with a more generalist approach.  I think the focus of my mag Beneath Ceaseless Skies attracts readers interested in traditional or epic fantasy, and I bet Lightspeed‘s focus on SF will attract SF fans.

Best of luck to them!
