Barzak's and Lindsley's stories are each their first for Asimov's. Malcohn's is her third in the magazine, following a 23-year hiatus (her debut was in November 1984, and her second appearance was in Mid-December 1986). Kosmatka & Poore's story is the former's fifth sale to the magazine, but the latter's first.
