We’ve turned off access to UK readers while we research the implications of Brexit. While ebooks are “zero-rated” (not taxed) we are checking to see if we’d still need to register with the UK HRMC (HM Revenue and Customs) and submit quarterly returns. Thank you for shopping Weightless, our apologies for having to do this, and we will update this further when we have more information.





Welcoming Constelación Magazine!

Constelación Magazine – Issue #1 cover - click to view full sizeWe’re very happy to welcome Constelación Magazine a new quarterly speculative fiction bilingual magazine. Here’s a word from Co-Editor and Mermaid-in-Chief, Coral Alejandra Moore:

Like a wish upon a star, Constelación Magazine was born out of two people who had the same dream: to read more speculative stories in Spanish. Though we live more than 6,400 miles apart, the universe answered by bringing us together, with the goal of amplifying the voices of Latin America and the Caribbean. At the same time, we want to give Spanish-speakers access to stories of all races, ethnicities, genders, and walks of life.

Constelación is a quarterly speculative fiction bilingual magazine, publishing stories in both Spanish and English. Writers can submit their stories in either language. Fifty percent of the stories we publish in every issue will be from authors from the Caribbean, Latin America, and their diaspora.

When thinking about what we wanted to accomplish with this magazine, very early on it occurred to us that we wanted to bring Central, North, and South America together in a way that no existing speculative fiction publication did. One of the first ideas we had after we had a name was to have an image of the continents as if they were constellations, to show how as people we are all connected no matter where we come from or who we are. The theme for our first issue came very quickly on the heels of that first image. The lines that connect the stars in the constellations are like the lines between us here on Earth, shining and full of meaning.

We wanted to explore what unites us, even though we live in different places and speak different languages. To that end, we bring you these stories from all over the world and beyond that show how important those connections between us are and how they shape us. Come on inside and have some tea and little brilliances with us.
