Sorry this got posted multiple times. It wasn't working properly, so I deleted and re-posted. But then it got boosted to the rest of fedi after I'd deleted. I think the server was having some intermittent issues. So those posts links don't work 😬

I posted this over on Mastodon at the weekend, but it seems like a good thing to promote on this group too (apologies that my text is pretty much copy paste from my Mastodon post).

This Kickstarter for a Ukrainian science fiction anthology looks great.

They already secured a grant form the Ukrainian Book Institute for many stories from Ukrainian authors (and translations into English), and have passed the funding goal for printing (plus the first two stretch goals!).

Backing starts from as little as $1 for the ebook (or $20 plus international postage for a print copy).

The usual caveats apply to risk on Kickstarter projects of course - no guarantees that any project will succeed. However, this one is from an established indie publisher with a track record of delivering on multiple Kickstarters, so it seems reasonably solid.

Personally, I’d love to see it hit the $30k stretch goal to get some illustrations, that sounds very cool.

The publishers are on Mastodon too, which is always good to see: @atthisarts@firedragons.net (and they replied to my post saying they’re happy to discuss any questions re: risks etc)

Backer Update 4 from yesterday - about the experience of being a writer at war - is incredibly powerful and worth reading too:
