Realms of Fantasy is a professional [1] bimonthly fantasy speculative fiction magazine published by Tir Na Nog Press, which specializes in fantasy, nonfiction, and art. The magazine publishes short stories by some of the genre's most popular and most prominent authors.
On January 27, 2009, the magazine's managing editor announced that Realms of Fantasy would cease publication after the April 2009 issue.[2] The closure was blamed on "plummeting newsstand sales, the problem currently faced by all of the fiction magazines."
In March of 2009, SF Scope reported that the magazine had been bought by Warren Lapine's Tir Na Nog Press and will not close.[3] Publication will start with a release date in July 2009, missing at least one issue (May 2009).[4] The fiction editorial staff will not change.
Douglas Cohen was promoted to Editor in November 2009, [5] and was previously Assistant (Fiction) Editor [May 2005], and had assumed roles of Nonfiction Editor and Art Director in March 2009. [6] [7]
First appearing in 1994, Shawna McCarthy has been the Fiction Editor since the magazine's inception.
