History

The first issue of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine was released in June 2002 as a slightly larger than digest size print magazine. Although the publishers of ASIM continued to offer it as a print magazine, in April 2006 they began releasing an electronic PDF version of the magazine beginning with issue #22. In June 2007 ASIM released a series of "best of" anthologies in the PDF format. There are a total of three anthologies in the series; one for science fiction, one for fantasy and one for horror. As of issue #54 eBook versions also became available. As of Issue #64, in September 2016, the magazine name was simplified to Andromeda Spaceways Magazine, the magazine banner was modernised, and all issues became electronic only, with an annual print 'Best of' collection. As of January 2020, Andromeda Spaceways Magazine has published a total of 77 issues.

Awards and recognition

The launch of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine won a Ditmar Award in 2003 as the "Best Australian Production", and two stories published in the magazine tied for the Sir Julius Vogel Award in 2004 as "Best Short Story". In addition the magazine and works published in it have been nominated for twelve Ditmar and five Aurealis Award.[1] In 2008 ASIM won a special Sir Julius Vogel Award for services to New Zealand science fiction.[2]
