Here's the next installment for June 2025\. All of these publications work on their own schedule, so there's going to be a little variation from month to month. I'm including issues that cover the month of June, so there are some from last month with May/June issues (like *Apex, Asimovs, Uncanny*, etc.), and not all issues will have links to the stories right away: some publications stagger their releases throughout the month. When I begin work on the next installment, I'll go through and add in the links that have come online. While we're talking about short fiction, check out the piece I sent out last week: they look at the future of 1 Paragraph's holdings (*Asimovs, Analog*, and *F&SF*). Hopefully, we'll be able to include links to all of their stories later this summer. [Changing of the guardWhat does a change in ownership for the genre’s legacy short fiction magazines mean for the SF/F community?![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2c/d7/2cd7d323-e6ed-4666-8092-07e380dbdf2a/content/images/icon/favicon-189.ico)Transfer OrbitAndrew Liptak![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2c/d7/2cd7d323-e6ed-4666-8092-07e380dbdf2a/content/images/thumbnail/IMG_3166-2.jpeg)](https://www.andrewliptak.com/asimovs-analog-fsf-science-fiction-fantasy-magazines-ownership-publishing/) You can check out last month's installment [here](https://www.andrewliptak.com/sci-fi-fantasy-short-stories-may-2025/).
