As I’ve mentioned before, Amazing Stories is in the middle of an effort to revive the iconic science fiction magazine. After sharing the news about their commitment-based pre-order model, the team has made progress—but they’re asking for a little extra push to reach their next milestone.
Currently, 50 fans have signed on to the program—an incredible start, given the daunting odds for such initiatives in the modern publishing world. For perspective, this is already the kind of turnout you’d see at a lively convention panel or a packed bookstore reading. But they need more momentum to truly bring Amazing Stories back to its former glory.
The next goal? 100 supporters. That’s it—just doubling the current count will bring them another step closer to relaunching the historic publication.
What You Can Do
If you’ve already signed on, great! Now, Amazing Stories is asking for just one more effort to help spread the word:
- Bring a friend aboard. If everyone who’s already committed gets one more sci-fi fan to sign up, we’ll hit that 100-supporter mark in no time. Share the project with fellow readers, friends, or anyone who loves science fiction.Here’s the link for them to join:
Committed to Bringing Amazing Stories Back to Publication - Write about it. Have a blog, website, or even a social media page? A short post sharing your enthusiasm for Amazing Stories could go a long way in building awareness.
- Interact online. Visit the Amazing Stories website, comment on posts, and join their Facebook group. Sharing and engaging with these resources is a quick and easy way to amplify the program.
- Review their past work. Amazing Stories’ back catalog has plenty to offer. Consider posting a review of one of their issues, either online or on social media, and include a mention of the revival effort.
Why This Matters
Science fiction is built on community. For nearly a century, Amazing Stories brought the community together, showcasing groundbreaking authors, inspiring future creators, and keeping the genre alive and thriving. By helping this program succeed, you’re not just backing a magazine—you’re supporting authors, artists, and the future of speculative fiction.
Amazing Stories isn’t about big corporate funding or high-pressure campaigns. It’s about passionate fans and creators coming together to preserve and expand a legacy.
Keep the Momentum Going
As Steve Davidson, the program’s leader, reminds us: this isn’t about “threatening people at blaster point” (we all know those don’t work). Instead, it’s about letting the sci-fi community know that we have the power to make this happen.
So, let’s spread the word, bring a friend on board, and keep moving toward the next goal. Together, we can help Amazing Stories take off once more.
