Clarkesworld Magazine is published or collected in a number of formats:
Clarkesworld was founded in July 2006 and published its first issue in October of that year.[1]
In February 2007, Clarkesworld announced the first in a series of annual print anthologies starting with Realms: The First Year of Clarkesworld Magazine.[2] It was published in June 2008 by Wyrm Publishing.[3]
In January 2015, Clarkesworld began a relationship with Storycom to regularly translate and publish works of Chinese science fiction in their issues.[4]
In February 2019, editor Neil Clarke announced that the magazine had received a grant from LTI Korea for the purposes of translating and publishing nine Korean science fiction stories in upcoming issues of Clarkesworld.[5]
In January 2020, its editor Neil Clarke withdrew a short story by Isabel Fall at Fall's request, "I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter", after Fall had been harassed by people who suspected the story of trolling or transphobia.[6]
In November 2022, editor Neil Clarke announced that the magazine would be opening a submission period for science fiction written in Spanish.[7]
In December 2022, Amazon declared that they would stop selling magazine subscriptions. Clarke called the announcement "devastating", and noted that they had been offered a chance to continue in Kindle Unlimited for less money.[8]
On 20 February 2023, Clarke announced that the magazine would be temporarily closing submissions until an unspecified future date,[9] with the reason being that too many AI-generated stories were being submitted.[10]
