Review of Alt Hist Issue 4 at SFcrowsnest

by

Apologies for not posting anything here for a while, things have been busy. You should hopefully see more regular postings now though – about once a week. Also I am working on the next issue of Alt Hist. A number of stories have been selected already and I just need a couple more to round things off. That should mean that I will be working through the Alt Hist submissions pile a bit faster over the next couple of weeks.

At the start of October Geoff Willmetts from SFcrowsnest emailed to report that they have now published a review of Alt Hist Issue 4. The reviewer generally liked the issue, although they preferred the alternate history pieces a bit more. However, they liked the varied nature of the stories on offer.

SFcrowsnest has had a makeover, so I recommend that you go and check it out. It looks great and there’s some interesting material there.

New Review of Alt Hist Issue 4 at Edi’s Book Lighthouse

by

Edi’s Book Lighthouse has just published a rather good review of Alt Hist Issue 4. Here’s the concluding part of the review:

A well done magazine which delivers exactly what the editor promised:
Well written and entertaining stories set in different period of times and an informative editorial.

If you want to discover alternate history beyond all the well known authors then you should give a Alt Hist try. You will get an entertaining and well written bunch of stories. Even you do not like all stories (who loves all stories and books) like me, you get a lot of impressions and ideas how history could have been.

Alt Hist Issue 4 – What’s Coming

by

I thought I would give a quick update on Alt Hist Issue 4. We now have six stories accepted for the fourth issue so we should be on track for publication in May – probably eBook publication first with print book publication to follow. The sixth story has only recently been accepted so I will be starting on getting draft copies of each story edited and typeset during March, with final changes being made during April.

I will provide some updates on exactly what’s going to be in Alt Hist Issue 4 next time!
