About Lightspeed
Lightspeed Magazine is an online publication of science fiction and fantasy. It publishes short stories, including flash fiction, alongside nonfiction such as editorials, author interviews, articles, and book and media reviews. Its homepage also lists themed special issues, such as Issue #100 and a set of issues with the titles "People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction!", "Queers Destroy Science Fiction!", and "Women Destroy Science Fiction!". The site also links to a sister magazine, Nightmare Magazine.
Readers can listen to stories through the site's podcasts, which list narrators and running times, and can buy ebooks in ePub, Mobi, or PDF formats. Some stories are shown as available only from a specific future date. The homepage does not state pricing for ebooks or subscriptions, so the price is unknown from the source.
