Strange Horizons is a free weekly, non-profit, web-based magazine that publishes short fiction, poetry, art, reviews, and articles of interest to the speculative fiction community each week. The editors use the phrase "speculative fiction" as an umbrella term embracing science fiction, fantasy, magic realism, slipstream, and a host of sub-genres. The magazine has run weekly since its founding in September 2000.
Mission
Strange Horizons is committed “to expanding readership, professional status and literary appreciation of speculative fiction in all media, for all people.”
The magazine has been in operation successfully for 10 years. Each year of Strange Horizons’ existence, multiple short stories, interviews, etc. have been reprinted in Year’s Best anthologies and nominated and won various genre awards. Susan Marie Groppi won the 2010 World Fantasy Award in the special award—nonprofessional category for editing Strange Horizons. (Although Strange Horizons is considered a professional magazine because it pays its contributors, the editor is not considered professional because, as a volunteer, she is not paid.)
Judging by its continued existence and recognition as a publisher of quality work, Strange Horizons is achieving most of its mission.
