I've just come across a new and very intriguing magazine:

Sci Phi Journal: a journal about science fiction and philosophy

I'm not aware of anything remotely similar.

Our first submission to them will be Ivan Popov's "Keresztury TVirs." Who can better appreciate such a story?

Sci Phi Journal, re: "The Keresztury TVirs" Hi Kalin, Please let Ivan know that I would love to publish his story in a future issue of Sci Phi. There are a lot of good stories received so far, so it might be a few issues before it can run. I normally pay 2 weeks out from the issue a story will ...

Shimmer, personal rejection: Dear Kalin, Thank you for allowing us to consider "The Dragon and the Orange Juice," but with regret, I'm going to pass on this one. Longer stories are a tough sell, and although I enjoyed reading ( parts of it made me laugh out loud ), the story didn't quite cover ...

Английска стилистика: не на синонимията в назоваването на героите Нашата литература ненавижда повторенията. Употребата на едни и същи думички ѝ е омразна. Просто не понасяме появата на вече познати фрази. Но в английската не е така: ShelfStealers: А Rose by Any Other Name Цитирам най-важното: ...can ...

Fantasy & Science Fiction, personal rejection: Dear Kalin and Elena, Thank you for giving me a chance to read "Elven Song." I'm definitely interested in seeing more speculative fiction from outside the United States, so I'm happy that you submitted this story to F&SF. I like the voice of it, and the ...

Yes please!

Is this previously published or is it shiny and new?

Fantasy & Science Fiction, personal rejection: Dear Kalin and YYYYY, Thank you for giving me a chance to read XXXXX and for being patient while I waited until I could read this one again with fresh eyes.

После съберете трите времена – воала, вече имате представа колко ви отнема една страниц ...

Fantasy & Science Fiction, personal rejection: Dear Kalin, Thank you for giving me a chance to read "The Last Story." This has exactly the quality I look for in translations: the language was vivid and evocative, and contained pleasant layers to it that reward rereading. One feels that the voice of ...

Fantasy & Science Fiction, personal rejection: Dear Kalin and Vladimir, Thank you for giving me a chance to read "Loving Loney Lone." I really liked the prose in this -- it was vivid, rich, and evocative -- all qualities that I like to see in F&SF. At the same time, I had concerns about the pacing ...

Chuck Rothman's review of Aliterate #2 at Tangent I always like to see science fiction from non-English-speaking authors; they tend to look at things with a different eye. "The Dragon and the Orange Juice" is by Bulgarian author Genoveva Detelinova about Vladimir, a relatively young wizard who ...

Преди около година са променили алгоритмите си изцяло и резултатите, които излизат в момента, са скръбни. Аз подивявам, като видя предложенията от български към английски...

Fantasy & Science Fiction, personal rejection with a bonus: Dear Kalin, Thank you for giving me a chance to read "Ricochet" by Yancho Cholakov. I liked the quality of the translation and thought the prose was very smooth. I didn't love the opening of this, and for me the story didn't really get ...
