Magazines
- Wyngraf – The Magazine of Cozy Fantasy. Publisher of my upcoming Valentine’s Day 2024 story, “Mail Order Husband.”
- Tales & Feathers Magazine – Slice of Life Fantasy.
Publishers
There are no publishers that focus on cozy fantasy – yet. These have or will be publishing cozy or cozy-adjacent novels.
- Space Wizard Science Fantasy – Publisher of my upcoming 2024 novel, Talio’s Codex.
- TOR – Publishers of Legends and Lattes
Subreddits
- /r/cozyfantasy – Usually my first stop of the day. “r/CozyFantasy is dedicated to the genre of imaginative fiction involving magic and adventure that gives a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation.”
- /r/fantasy – “/r/Fantasy is the internet’s largest discussion forum for the greater Speculative Fiction genre. We welcome respectful dialogue related to speculative fiction in literature, games, film, and the wider world.”
- /r/fantasywriters – “This subreddit is dedicated to writing in the fantasy genre. All posts should be about writing, editing, critiquing and/or publishing one’s own works of fantasy.”
Other Cozy Resources
- The Design of Cozy Games – Much of this is applicable to cozy fantasy as well.
- Four New Cozy Games of 2023 – Spoiler: they’re Chants of Sennaar (puzzle), Jusant (platformer), Fabledom (building), and Roots of Pacha (farming). I haven’t played these yet, but I do enjoy a quick game of Dorfromantik.
