History and profile
It was launched in September 2000, and publishes new material (usually some combination of fiction, articles, reviews, columns, poetry, and/or art) 51 weeks of the year. The magazine was founded by writer and editor Mary Anne Mohanraj.[1] It has a staff of approximately thirty volunteers, and is unusual among professional speculative fiction magazines in being funded entirely by donations, holding annual fund drives.
Susan Marie Groppi won the World Fantasy Special Award: Non-Professional in 2010 for her work as Editor-in-Chief on Strange Horizons.[2] The magazine itself was a finalist for the Best Website Hugo Award in 2002[3] and 2005,[4] and for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine every year from 2013 through 2017.
The short story The House Beyond Your Sky by Benjamin Rosenbaum, published in 2006[5] in the magazine, was nominated for a 2007 Hugo Award for Best Short Story.[6] Selkie Stories Are For Losers by Sofia Samatar was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 2014. Other stories in Strange Horizons have been nominated for the Nebula and other awards.[7] Three stories published in Strange Horizons have won the Theodore Sturgeon Award.
