Publisher Jason Sizemore also has an announcement about Apex Magazine: starting with this issue, the webzine, which used to be a printzine, will be offered in both the online version and as a pdf. The pdf version, which will include a cover, art, and other features not available on the website, is available for $2 (via e-mail distirbution), or a full-year’s subscription can be had for $12. “We’re planning to publish extra articles and essays in the pdf version as a bonus for those loyal readers who chose to support Apex,” Sizemore said. “But rest assured that all the fiction we publish will continue to appear in the online version as well.” To order the pdf version, see this page.
