Interzone issue 224, published on September 10th, contains a novella by Jason Sanford plus short stories by Katherine Sparrow & Rachel Swirsky, Jeremiah Tolbert, Adrian Joyce, and Chris Butler. Cover art is by Adam Tredowski and interior art by Paul Drummond, Dave Senecal, Mark Pexton, and Martin Bland. All the usual news, reviews and give-aways are here, and the books section includes Robert Holdstock on 25 years of Mythago Wood.
Note from the Publisher:
We have sent a substantial number (relatively speaking) of copies of this issue for overseas distribution. I can’t yet give a breakdown of where these copies are going, or what the cover price might be, but presumably the majority are going to the USA. If you’re already an Interzone reader please help spread the word that the magazine can now be bought in shops overseas. If you’re not yet a reader and you see the magazine in a shop, please buy it! This is a test issue but it’s hopefully something we can build on.

From Kevin Standlee’s blog:
The video of the 2009 Main WSFS Business Meeting held Saturday, August 8, at Anticipation is now online. If you have difficulty viewing the video through Vimeo’s online viewer, you can download the video (WMV format) to your machine using the link in the lower right corner of the video’s web page.
Vimeo limits users to uploading 500 MB/week, although once uploaded, the files stay up there and new files do not displace them. I plan to post the Site Selection Business Meeting next week.
The Main Business Meeting dealt with amendments to the WSFS Constitution pending ratification after having received initial passage at the 2008 Business Meeting in Denver. The Main Event was the debate over the removal of the Semiprozine Hugo Award. Also on the agenda: The Graphic Story Hugo Award and the explicit expansion of Hugo Award eligibility to electronic (web-based) publication.
This information is not secret. Feel free to pass it along to anyone else you think might be interested. You can quote this message entirely if you wish.
So, if you weren’t there and want to see how the discussion and vote on the semiprozine went down, here is your chance.
Beneath Ceaseless Skies Issue #23 is now available.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported our cause and especially everyone who showed up at today’s business meeting. Our supporters spoke eloquently and with conviction. When the vote was finally held, we won by an overwhelming majority. The Best Semiprozine Hugo will continue.
A new committee to help redefine the semiprozine and related Hugos was voted into place shortly afterwards. It will be chaired by Chris Barkley. More information on that as it becomes available.
Again, thanks to everyone involved. I have to say that everything was handled very professionally (by both sides) and it does appear that we are united in repairing the category. This is a very good day.
