the indispensable double art! I hear that means 18 illustrations per issue!

This makes me so happy. Partly because in a lean year I'd run the mag with less art to keep it going, sure, but Double Art is really my personal minimum for what I like to be able to produce for y'all... ... and partly because I get to make the little airship start flying! Haha WHEEEEEE 🚀

DOUBLE ART UNLOCKED: Two illustrations per story or article, four illustrations in the novelette length tales! Thank you. Feels great to get our airship moving across the stars. Onward to the INTL shipping discount: $5 USD off for Canada, $10 off for everyone else! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

"Staku-ra's Hoard", coming to @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social summer 2025

One...more...backer...for DOUBLE ARRRRRRT www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

New Edge Sword & Sorcery needs 150 simoleons to hit double art for novelette-length stories. Wanna see my new Jirel joint, "Jirel Meets Death," illustrated with 4 pictures instead of 2? What about the novelettes in the Sword & Planet special? I mean just look at this crop of the cover by Luis Melo.

S & S has more of a history with poetry than you might think! REH himself wrote hundreds of poems, many within The Sacred Genre. In this tradition, and because you unlocked our bonus stories SO FAST, there are now three poems to unlock - and you've gotten one already! Share the OP for more...

I've read them all, and they've all been great, with stellar standouts in every issue. A new edge for a new era! Get on board!

I’ve backed every issue so far and they always exceed expectations - beautifully rendered and great story telling to boot

I get to write a Sword & Sorcery poem. My last was 'Scapegoat' in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly: www.heroicfantasyquarterly.com?p=4361

Sorry to name drop or otherwise be annoying but I just got an email from Michael Moorcock letting me know he likes the new covers and my day is absolutely MADE.

We like to keep things cheery on this account but seriously folks, do not submit or even admit to using "AI" in your art or writing if you would like to work with us. Our editor is *not* kidding.

We agree! Check out NESS #2 for Milton Davis' article on Saunders and their friendship: newedgeswordandsorcery.com/product-cate...
