I know there’s a lot happening and a lot of demands on people’s funds, but Locus is a truly important part of our SF genre. I’ve been depending on it for information since, oh, around 2009 or so. AND it’s run by the coolest people! If you love SF, please support Locus!

We only have 2 full days left till our fundraiser ends and we're inching toward the 60% mark. Please help keep us afloat. We want to do MORE not less. More short fiction reviews! More con reporting! More Locus Awards! More Recommended Reading Lists! igg.me/at/locusmag2024

Honestly, it's not clear we'll be able to raise $25k in the time remaining before our fundraiser ends, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying. Help keep Locus doing what it does! Help us do MORE not less. Donate!
