Alliteration Ink has announced the launch of recompose, a magazine dedicated to literary fiction and poetry with elements of science fiction, fantasy, and horror for publication in 2016. This new journal from the Dayton publisher is edited by Leslie J. Anderson of Columbus, and Anton Cancre of Cincinnati.
The project is currently offering issue #0 in major digital formats for free to the public. “This issue is so that everyone can see what kind of journal we’re building.” Said Alliteration Ink’s owner, Steven Saus. “The crowdfunding campaign is so that we can make more of it.”
This Kickstarter campaign, which already met its first funding goals, is set up to bring these works to as many people as possible. Saus said it was important for amounts as low as $3 to get you a full year’s worth of stories, poems, non-fiction, and artwork.
“Letting people get involved for only a few dollars means it’s easy for people to get involved. We want more people to feel our appreciation of poetry and short fiction – and with the popularity of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, projects like recompose can serve as a way to get people interested in and reading other types of literature,” Saus said.
The Kickstarter campaign met it initial target in less than a week.
recompose will be primarily digital, though there are plans for a print annual compilation issue.
