New Poetry Editor, Next Podcast Date, Solarpunk Book, and More Inside!


New Poetry Editor at Solarpunk Magazine

We recently brought on a new Poetry Editor here at Solarpunk Magazine. We’re so excited to introduce you to her, and to see the shape our poetry department takes under her experience and leadership!

Tonya R. Moore (she/her) writes and edits speculative fiction. She is a Poetry Acquiring Editor at the 2024 Hugo Award-nominated FIYAH Literary Magazine and an Associate Writer at Galactic Journey. Her passion projects include writing speculative fiction reviews and interviewing authors. Tonya enjoys reading, anime, and science fiction film and television. She is a newbie cozy gamer (SpaceAgeMermaid on Twitch) currently immersed in the world of the free-to-play Fantasy MMO, Palia.

In the coming weeks we’ll be updating our poetry submission guidelines to reflect what Tonya is looking for when it comes to solarpunk poetry. In the meantime, you can learn more about Tonya and her work on her website.


Pre-Order UTOPIAN WITCH

Longtime witchcraft practitioner, community organizer, and founder of Solarpunk Magazine, Justine Norton-Kertson, has a new solarpunk book coming out with Microcosm Publishing this July, and pre-orders start next week on Kickstarter.

UTOPIAN WITCH: SOLARPUNK MAGICK TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE AND SAVE THE WORLD is a book that joins solarpunk principles together with various craft traditions to develop a form of magickal practice that’s all about fighting for a just and sustainable future through a combination of magickal work and on-the-ground, practical, tangible action and community building.

This fresh approach to witchcraft comes at a time when it’s desperately needed. Utopian Witch is full of solarpunk spells and rituals designed to guide you in surviving (and resisting) climate crisis and dystopian political systems so you can take radical action towards a positive future. 

Inside you’ll find….
  • A guide to solarpunk methods, beliefs, and craft, including easy-to-learn ways to incorporate them into your life
  • Explanations of radical hope and politics, and how to work them into your magickal practice
  • Meditations, correspondence tables, and rituals steeped in Sun Magick
  • Spells rooted in environmental and social justice

…and even more tools and ideas to help you change your life and the world around you.


New Podcast Launch Day

Since we relaunched a couple weeks ago, we’ve been dropping new podcast episodes on Fridays. But we’re shifting that just slightly. Starting this week, new episodes will be released on Monday mornings so we all have something positive and hopeful to start our week with. That means there won’t be an episode dropping today, but rather this coming Monday morning.

For those who support our work on Patreon, that means early access will come by Sunday morning at the latest.

In the meantime, if you haven’t listened to the first two new episodes yet, they’re up!


Imagitopia Podcast

If you haven’t check it out yet, our publisher Android Press launched a new fantasy fiction podcast last month called Imagitopia. Each episode presents readings of fantasy short stories that have been submitted by authors from around the world.

Four episodes of Imagitopia have been published so far, and Episode 5 drops early next week!
