Ben Bova, former editor of Analog and Omni, will serve as Publisher for projects including download­able books and something like an online magazine, with Amy Stout as Editor-in-Chief.

The impressive roster of monthly columnists features Kevin & Rebecca Anderson, Gregory Benford, Jack Dann, Jeff Duntemann, D.C. Fontana, Karen Haber, Joe Haldeman, Elizabeth Hand, Anne McCaffrey, Mike Resnick, Spider Robinson, Rudy Rucker, John Varley, Len Wein, and Margaret Weis. In addition, Harlan Ellison will provide a twice-monthly column, Greg Bear occasional columns, David Brin occasional features.
