Greetings backers! I am excited to share the news that the Kickstarter to fund ROBOTIC AMBITIONS: TALES OF MECHANICAL SENTIENCE edited by Lesley Conner and Jason Sizemore has launched!
Since our launch on Tuesday, we've surpassed the 50% funded mark and was selected as a Project We Love by the folks at Kickstarter. It's been a strong start!
We have a large list of add-on rewards (critiques, a workshop, signed bookplates, other Apex titles, etc.) to go along with our reward tiers.
Should we fund, we will have nine invited authors (Danny Cherry Jr., Izzy Wasserstein, Premee Mohamed, Marie Vibbert, Lavie Tidhar, Elliott Wink, Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, Renan Bernardo, and Sheree Renée Thomas) and select nine stories from an open reading period. There are stretch goals planned to include more slots for invited and open call authors.
All backers receive immediate access to Elliott Wink's novelette "A Still Life" that will appear in ROBOTIC AMBITIONS.
I hope you'll have a look at the plans for my and Lesley's anthology and consider backing the project!
Backing now for $25 gets you a new, discounted subscription or lets you extend your current one by one year—but it also lands you plenty of Kickstarter exclusives like:
Strange Libations, a mixology book inspired by our stories
Stranded Among the Stars, a strange one-page RPG to play with your friends
Kickstarter exclusive short stories from Maurice Broaddus, Daniela Tomova, and E. Catherine Tobler!
All Stretch Goals Revealed!
We have unveiled all ten of our stretch goals. They're all reasonably reachable and gives YOU more content and increases our writer and editor pay. The big kahuna goal is a chapbook of dark poetry from Apex Magazine.
Here's the complete list of stretch goals we've yet to reach:
$20000 — Kickstarter exclusive fiction from Daniela Tomova. Issue 139 in the bag.
$22000 — Kickstarter exclusive fiction from E. Catherin Tobler. Issue 140 in the bag.
$23000 — Issue 111 of Apex Magazine (guest-edited by F&SF editor Sheree Renêe Thomas)
$24000 — An ebook copy of The Apex Book of World SF: Volume 1 edited by Lavie Tidhar
$25000 — Original cover art by Marcela Bolívar
$26000 — Original cover art by Godwin Akpan
$32000 — Increase our pay for original fiction to 10 cents a word
$36000 — A chapbook of dark poetry from Apex Magazine
