“MetaStellar is my favorite online speculative fiction magazine. The fiction is top-notch, but I also frequently recommend ‘This week’s top writing advice from around the web’ column to my editing clients, and ‘Free Friday: Today’s top free Amazon sci-fi and fantasy books’ column to readers. It’s not just a magazine, it’s a community.”

                           – Robert Runté, senior editor of EssentialEdits.ca

“It’s a pleasure to see MetaStellar emerge as a new sci-fi venue and an honor to be among the authors representing its inaugural year.  I look forward to great things from MetaStellar.”

                       – Matt McHugh, Baen and PARSEC award winner

“MetaStellar has, in its first year, already proved as professional and polished as venerable mags decades old. Working with them has been an honor, and quite a bit of fun. The work they publish has sass and finesse, and I’m proud to be associated with these spirited upstarts.”                           

  – Caren Gussoff Sumption, speculative fiction author, @spitkitten

                                                                – Andrew Dunn, sci-fi author

      – Adam Gaylord, sci-fi and fantasy author, @AuthorGaylord

“Metastellar has given a wide range of writers an exciting platform for their work. Full of intriguing stories and thought-provoking new writing. Bold science-fiction at its brightest.”

         – Barry Charman, sci-fi author and poet, @BarryCharman

“I visit MetaStellar frequently, not just for great stories, but for great articles that help me write better stories.”

                         – Bret Nelson, author, Manborg: The Novelization
