Readers,

The second issue of New Maps is now available! The spring issue features five new stories that travel to a terrific breadth of different new worlds, enough to offer a sampling of how many different futures the future may hold.

With shipping update (Mar. 3). It’s hard for me to imagine when the view outside my window looks like this, but it’s almost time for me to start working on the spring issue of New Maps. Relative to that, there are a few announcements that I need to make.

Hello, everyone! There’s been quiet from Looseleaf Publishing, but in the background, things have been brewing. I'm happy to finally be able to announce that New Maps, Vol. 1, No. 1, is now available to order. If you’re a subscriber, your issue should arrive sometime late this month or early February. Otherwise, you can order copies at our order page (mail order also available).

For the first issue, and possibly for more following it, I’m looking to readers for help: do you have art that you think would look good on the cover of New Maps?

If you’re reading this now, in these early stages of New Maps, you’ve probably found your way here from Joel Caris’s Into the Ruins or John Michael Greer’s blog Ecosophia. Thanks for coming. I’m excited to be starting this new project, and making sure good deindustrial fiction will keep getting out into the world.
