#BogiReads - The daily speculative reading recommendation from Bogi Takács
B"H Hi everyone! I'm a Hugo and Lambda award winning editor, critic and author + also a finalist for other awards like the Ignyte, the Locus and more. I'm bringing back my daily story / poem recommendation that used to be popular on Twitter, under different hashtags. My recommendations are now in a new, handy email newsletter format - with easy-to-use archives, RSS support, search, and more. Here is what you'll receive: 5 recommendations / week, one per day (4 on the free tier + 1 on the paid tier) Recent speculative short stories and poems + a paragraph about why you might want to read them Mon-Thu: short stories, poems, flash stories Fri: novelettes, novellas (a longer read for the weekend!) - this is on the paid tier only 70-80% of my recommendations are free to read online Everything comes recommended by me. What does it mean? I recommend less than 20% of the stories I read (I read a lot!), these are my absolute favorites I'm an award-winning professional editor... ...with a proven track record I read work both from big & small publishers, and also self-published stories How can I subscribe to this newsletter? Subscribe at the paid tier. This is pay what you want (including free - with a suggested amount of $3). The Friday recommendation is for paid subscribers only, and there will be further fun bonuses for paid subscribers too. Sponsorships! You can sponsor a daily recommendation for $20 - for this you'll be able to add your name and a dedication (optional). I choose all recommendations. If you're interested in sponsoring a recommendation, please reach out to me first via social media or my website. Paid subscriptions: Click here to pay with Stripe! (Pay what you want - $3 / month suggested.) This initiates a recurring payment that you can cancel at any time. Once you pay, you will be automatically subscribed to the newsletter - there's no need to do anything else. Free subscriptions:
