The Rise of The Science Fiction Magazine
As the circulation of the traditional US sf magazines has declined, new magazines have sprung up online from international small-press publishers. In the past ten years, Science Fiction World, China's longest-running science fiction magazine, has doubled its circulation to 320,000, and launched a sister magazine. Currently the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America lists 17 sf periodicals that pay enough to be considered professional markets. Locus, in its annual recommended reading list of short fiction, selects stories from 27 magazines worldwide, though well over a third of the more than 100 stories listed first appeared in anthologies, and of the magazine stories, more than half first appeared in either Asimov's Science Fiction or The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
