Neil Clarke of Clarkesworld Magazine has launched a Kickstarter campaign to promote Clarkesworld Books “as a translation-focused imprint of Wyrm Publishing… [which] will focus on the translation and publication of science fiction novellas, anthologies, and short story collections from all over the world.”

The focus of this Kickstarter campaign is to raise money to produce the imprint’s first book, Xia Jia’s A Hundred Ghosts Parade Tonight and Other Stories, the first English language collection by the Chinese author whose previous translated stories have appeared in Clarkesworld Magazine and elsewhere.
