Update #18: We're live
Dear backers (and curious browsers who've stumbled across this post),
When you last heard from us, we'd hit a bump in the road on our way to becoming a new professional market for Canadian science fiction. But we didn't let it stop us. Today, we're proud to announce that AE is launching online. We can't put it better than the opening of the Letter from the Editors for issue 1:
It’s been a long and bumpy journey, with weather harsh and roadmaps faulty, but here we are. This is existence and it is sublime. This is AE – The Canadian Science Fiction Review. This is the new professional market for the fantastic, the prophetic, the speculative and the strange. This is a grand experiment in more ways than one. And this is all for you. Come on in.
The "you" in that paragraph is includes anyone intrigued enough to stop by our site, but especially all of you who showed your support from the very beginning. Our heartfelt thanks go out to you. We couldn't have done it without you.
AE is entering an exciting new phase and we hope to keep growing with the continued support of our community. Please join us at http://aescifi.ca to see what the future holds for our young publication.
