G'dayThe bellman is a character from The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll. I live in the Blue Mountains, Australia. Today's featured article Algis Budrys, the editor of Tomorrow Speculative Fiction, in 1985 Tomorrow Speculative Fiction was a science fiction magazine edited by Algis Budrys (pictured), published in print and online in the US from 1992 to 1999. It was launched by Pulphouse Publishing, but cash flow problems led Budrys to buy the magazine after the first issue and publish it himself. There were 24 issues as a print magazine from 1993 to 1997, mostly on a bimonthly schedule. The magazine lost money, and in 1997 Budrys moved to online publishing, rebranding the magazine as tomorrowsf. Readership grew while the magazine was free on the web, but fell when Budrys began charging for subscriptions. In 1998 Budrys stopped acquiring new fiction, only publishing reprints of his own stories, and in 1999 he shut the magazine down. Tomorrow published many new writers, though few of them went on to successful careers. Well-known authors who appeared in the magazine included Gene Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Harlan Ellison. Tomorrow was a finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine in 1994 and 1995. (Full article...)
