The Bush League Critic

A new science fiction ezine has released its very first issue (June 2010). Every issue of Lightspeed Magazine will be published online, for free, with content being added to the site throughout the month. If, however, you’d like to read the whole issue all at once, or you’d just like the convenience of having Lightspeed on your ebook reader, you can purchase the ebook edition (Kindle, iBook and EPub formats) every month for just $2.99.

The regular publication schedule each month includes two pieces of original fiction and two fiction reprints, along with four nonfiction articles. Fiction posts on Tuesdays, nonfiction on Thursdays.

From their About Page:

Lightspeed is an online magazine focusing exclusively on science fiction. Here you can expect to see all types of science fiction, from near-future, sociological soft sf, to far-future, star-spanning hard sf, and anything and everything in between. No subject will be considered off-limits, and we encourage our writers to take chances with their fiction and push the envelope.

Each month at Lightspeed, we bring you a mix of originals and reprints, and featuring a variety of authors—from the bestsellers and award-winners you already know to the best new voices you haven’t heard of yet. When you read Lightspeed, it is our hope that you’ll see where science fiction comes from, where it is now, and where it’s going.

Lightspeed also features a variety of nonfiction features, fiction podcasts, and Q&As with our authors that go behind-the-scenes of their stories.

The story chosen for the debut is I'm Alive, I Love You, I'll See You in Reno by Vylar Kaftan. The site looks pretty sharp - everyone should check it out.
