Just pressed PUBLISH on Infinity Wanderers 6. At 205 pages it is a monumental work. If I can get a table seat on the train back from London to Swansea tomorrow I will try to get the ebook version ready. But hopefully by early afternoon tomorrow, the paperback version will be live. Due to Amazon's price increase, it is £10.99 which includes extremely little profit for me (about 20p an issue maybe), but we wanted to keep it in line with good magazines you might buy in a shop. It is in many ways a coffee-table book, of course, full colour, 10" x 8", and this issue is possibly the one that has gone through the most digital proofs ever, though that does not mean there will be no mistakes, of course. It has several colour and photographic features, as well as a few Photographic Interludes of interest, which reset left/right balance. We would certainly hope that the mix, and breadth and depth, of features will be of interest to a wide variety of readers.

Grey Wolf has kindly asked me via e-mail if I could post the Ko-fi link for Infinity Wanderers:

https://ko-fi.com/infinitywanderers

He's tried contacting Sargon the previous week, but wasn't lucky, so he tried my e-mail address we used some years back, when I sent him an article for Innovate magazine that he edited back then, before Infinity Wanderers.

The screenshot of Grey Wolf's e-mail to me (sent on the 13th of October) available below, under the spoiler.

Spoiler: Grey Wolf's e-mail concerning some current personal issues and his Ko-fi link for Infinity Wanderers

I've edited out my own e-mail address and Grey Wolf's surname, for obvious privacy reasons.


I also include the reply e-mail I wrote to him before posting in this thread, under the second spoiler.

Spoiler: My reply to Grey Wolf's e-mail

I'm adding it here for completeness' sake, just so it's clear I wrote back to him and promised to share the link.

I don't know if I can be of any help beyond that, but if any of you know Grey Wolf personally or know him well enough here on the forums, feel free to contact him and ask if he needs any help. As I'm far away from the UK, including Wales, I personally can't directly help GW.

 

[Grey Wolf]

Thank you Petike for sharing it here, and for the couple of kind people who have donated.

Infinity Wanderers 8 has had "publish" pressed but is currently stuck "in review"

 

[Nik]

Bravo !! Especially for getting past the first handful of issues...

I still remember the huge 'buzz' I got from seeing a couple of my 'shorts' appear in 'Threads'...

Well, the sale of my late dad's place has collapsed for the second time, incurring me and my sister a slate of management fees and ground rent payments on it again.

I've set Infinity Wanderers 9 for February to do it while I can, then will do issue 10 for June, hopefully allowing me to get some finances in place for that issue

My imprints have issued rejection notices to all prospects not already under contract or gentleman's agreement.

I'm now cancelling my planned holidays, including to visit my parents' grave for the 10th anniversary of my Mum's death. I got there before Christmas so it won't be like I never go there.

Money is such a pain in the ass!

 

[Talwar]

Good luck!

 

[Grey Wolf]

Good luck!

Thanks

Issue 9 IS paid for, the cover designer has the money for the design and an abstract for it. I can cover the 3 copies I send to libraries.

Issue 10 will be the difficult one, which is why I have placed a 4-month gap between the two. I'll need to raise the finance for the cover designer especially.

In between, I will run out of money in March, apart from what I earn gardening etc which doesn't cover the rent.
