Will Blog for Reading Material
Gordon Van Gelder, editor and publisher of F&SF, has 20 extra copies of the Oct/Nov double issue and he wants to give them away to bloggers.

Over on the F&SF forum he says:

Here's the deal:

1) Go to our "Contact Us" page: http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/contact.htm

2) Say you'll blog about the issue and tell us where to mail your copy of the issue.

3) Receive the issue and blog about it. Naturally, we prefer if you read the issue before blogging about it, but I'm just insisting that you blog about it. (The first time we tried this promotion, people mistakenly thought they should blog about the magazine before receiving the issue. No. Get the issue first, then blog about it. Say anything you like about the issue.)

4) Send us a link to your blog.

That's all there is to it, except to say that if you were in on the blogging promotion for our July or August issue, please sit this one out.


Looks like a great issue: Stephen King, M. Rickert, Albert Cowdrey, Carol Emshwiller, Terry Bisson, Stephen Utley, Michael Swanwick... hurry before they're all gone.

Thanks for the heads up!

However, oopsey! I went over and filled it out, but missed that last line. I blogged July.

Sigh. Rejected even for blogging!

If you blogged it in July, isn't about time you subscribed?!

I've been waiting for GVG to shout "Time's up!" but I haven't seen it yet. Good luck with getting the issue.

Just got the e-mail that my issue is heading this way. Coolness.

Now I need to catch up on my blogging...

My copy arrived in the mail today. It had 18 on the envelope so the extra 20 may be gone by now.

Awesome! I haven't received my subscriber's copy yet, so I don't know how good it is, but I love a lot of those authors.

I'm looking forward to your blog on it.
