We&#8217;ve attained our 8c per word goal and now are setting our sights on greater things ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Additionally, we are updating some of the perks that are offered through our Patron Hunt. While the majority of tiers and perks will stay the same we have decided with great difficulty to remove certain perks that had become cumbersome to keep on top of. In their stead, we&#8217;ve tried to add some new appealing perks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short summary of changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We no longer send signed books or merchandise for tiers excepting the <strong>Royal Philosopher<\/strong>\u00a0tier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We no longer guarantee behind the scenes interviews with our editors or the writing advice column. Though we will endeavor to still provide these periodically to all tiers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We have added expedited response times to subscribers at the <strong>Patron<\/strong>\u00a0level and above.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We are adding a special page on our website that lists and thanks all patrons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We have added the ability to list a professional website with your name on our website if you so choose for those subscribers at the <strong>Loyal Patron<\/strong>\u00a0level and above. (Those currently at Loyal Patron level or above, please send us a message if you wish to have a professional website linked to your name on our website)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We have added the perk of a handwritten letter from one of our editors upon joining the <strong>Royal Philosopher<\/strong>\u00a0tier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will be making slight changes to the wording to better clarify perks and benefits for patrons throughout this month. We apologize for the removal of certain perks. As our magazine grows and receives more submissions our attention as editors increasingly becomes drawn to reading, editing, and prepping each issue and we have after careful consideration, decided to remove the few perks we were not able to keep up with currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We deeply appreciate your support, without which our work would be quite impossible, and will endeavor in all things to provide you with suitable benefits for supporting our mission to bring the world a bit closer to utopia by publishing hopeful and optimistic fiction, poems, and artwork. Thank you for your understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all kindness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tristan Evarts<br>Editor-in-Chief, Utopia Science Fiction Magazine<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear patrons, We&#8217;ve been going through and doing some much needed updates to the wording of our Patron Hunt, including updating our banner and future goals.
