Here is a thread of all the essays, interviews, and stories we published in 2020 at Interstellar Flight Magazine. We are SO so proud of our writers.
We try to review as much LGBTQIA+ fiction as we can. @writerthoughts reviewed @Ryality’s REVERIE, a story of a queer teen coming to terms with his magical abilities—in the form of rainbow fire. https://link.medium.com/tLsIlfxmncb
“Just like the magic in Reverie, if you feel an indebtedness from the world, for its ills and misunderstandings, this book is for you. You may find something of yourself hidden in its pages, and find your own dreams forming.”
Love Norse tales? @tuttlemediaman wrote an in-depth exploration of women in Norse fiction, from classics to today. https://link.medium.com/iQTti4Xmncb
“In the fashion of many a fantastical Norse-based adventure, women often represent game-changers, fighters, leaders.”
We love articles that not only review a thing, but also dive into the politics of it. @cjwhite’s piece on REMNANT does just that, discussing colonialism, hyper consumerism, and climate change: https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/remnant-from-the-ashes-review-f023283a54bb
Marginalized creators are reimagining the world right now, and @sassylich has the scoop on the latest indie horror: https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/indie-horror-in-the-age-of-the-internet-c4fa6a496b15
“The internet has given marginalized creators a platform to tell their stories exactly how they want and to tell stories that have needed to be told for years.”
We had many stellar interviews this year, including this one by @nuts2soup with author @TochiTrueStory on RIOT BABY, a poetic, time-telescoping, dodgeball hit of a novella. https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/tochi-onyebuchi-interview-80536cbb12ca
“It’s so multiform, this confluence of race and violence. I mean, that’s the American story.”

Set right here in our hometown of Houston, @stampepk’s Gravity of Us is all space nostalgia and queer teen romance, review by @writerthoughts https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/review-gravity-of-us-rocketship-romance-e05fe9788d5e
Are you a coward, or a librarian? @BonnieJoStuffle interviewed @gaileyfrey on UPRIGHT WOMEN WANTED. https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/queer-futures-f7c369e7603c
“Right now, a lot of us are looking into the future of America and wondering if there’s a place for us there — if survival is possible, and if fighting for hope is worthwhile. I wanted to write a book about the promise of a queer future in any possible timeline.”

If Covid-19 was an SFF story up for critique by @beckererine https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/your-critique-groups-feedback-on-covid-19-db50a4127390
(That one still makes us lol. Covid is so implausible. Who is writing this thing? They need to trunk it.)
Are there aliens in Kentucky? We love weird TV and @seeorsea’s review of Hellier takes us deep into the world of coincidence. https://medium.com/interstellar-flight-press/hellier-review-ee0639062e74
Coincidence that our managing editor @HollyLynWalrath and IFP writer @Jodys_Journey both have Kentucky roots? OR IS IT SOMETHING MORE?
IS IT?
