Absolutely not, and this is not a practice we agree with.

The Fantasy Hive is entirely volunteer run – the team contribute reviews and content as a hobby.

As of June 2023 we are affiliated with Bookshop.org and include affiliate links in a lot of our content, and we are exploring Google adsense, both as a means to support the cost of hosting the site.

We are currently not looking to expand our team.

We know it’s in the name, but we are by no means limited to fantasy. Our contributors read quite widely under the Science Fiction and Fantasy umbrella, and a fair ways into the adjacent speculative fields, most notably Horror, but also thrillers, historical fictions, and more literary speculative fiction.

No we do not.

We are currently on partial hiatus – we are posting reviews from our contributors, but whilst our Editor in Chief settles into her new job, we will not be posting our other usual content of interviews, cover reveals, excerpts, guest posts, etc.

We are closed to review requests.

Ordinarily, we’re a pretty diverse team of readers and could find a home for most subgenres under the SFF umbrella, whether you’re trad or self published. However, our contributors are all currently swamped by their TBRs.
