History[]
Clarkesworld was founded in October 2006.
In May 2008, Clarkesworld began collecting its stories in annual print anthologies starting with Realms: The First Year of Clarkesworld Magazine.[1]
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.[2]
