The people behind Brooklyn's brilliant science fiction bookstore Singularity & Co are looking to raise $60,000 to launch a new science fiction quarterly magazine called the Tycho Journal.
They plan on an 8.5×11", perfect bound, stylish, gorgeous magazine featuring original fiction, comics, essays and features. 32% of the money they raise is earmarked to pay editors and creators for the magazine.
Singularity & Co made its name by cowdfunding the money to research the copyrights on brilliant, out-of-print science fiction classics, pay the rightsholders, and release them as shareable ebooks. They've got a good track record for promising exiciting things and delivering on their promises.
$25 gets you the first issue.
Each issue of TYCHO will be a visually compelling love letter to all things science fiction and will feature:
*
Brand new fiction (along with a lost classic or two)*
Original comics*
Beautifully presented mini-retrospectives of works by artists, illustrators, and photographers*
Long-form interviews with authors, artists, musicians, screenwriters, scientists, and directors*
And smart and compelling features, essays, and journalism exploring the crossroads of science fiction and film, music, philosophy, science, futurism, art, and more.
