Samovar is published by Strange Horizons, as part of its mission to encourage and support the widest possible range of new voices and perspectives across speculative literature.

Like Strange Horizons, Samovar aims to provide content to our readers free of charge while still paying our contributors professional rates, and we want to do all of the above while remaining volunteer-staffed and without being dependent on advertisers or corporate interests.
