Following a launch party at the recently concluded World Fantasy Convention, Editor-in-Chief Val Grimm writes to tell us that “the inaugural issue of The Portal, an international online review of short-form science fiction, fantasy, and horror, is now live at sffportal.net.”
Already available are reviews of Sybil’s Garage, Shimmer, Strange Horizons, Bull Spec, F&SF, and Ideomancer, as well as a magazine from Russia, collections from Brazil and Denmark, and overviews of the French, Bolivian, and Danish sf scenes. Their staff listing shows two dozen reviewers and “bureau heads”, including Elizabeth Allen, Alex Donald, Miguel Esquirol, Fábio Fernandes, David Hebblethwaite, Annïg Houesnard, Stig Jorgensen, Leonid Korogodski, Knud Larn, Marlin May, Carole Moleti, and Alison Sinclair.
They are also open to submissions from outside reviewers (see this page).
