Things progress apace on the next issue of the Arkham Gazette. I’ve been doing some research before I wholly dive into writing the pieces I’d like to contribute and we have a few actual submissions from other authors. Here is how things stand so far-

Done (these articles will almost certainly be in the next issue):

A pseudo-historical in-world profile of Arkham’s second most famous witch

A biography of Ibn Schacabao

An scenario seed about an unusual magical artifact found in a home

A discussion of a real-world case how an urban legend about witches developed

What is currently being worked on, by me or others (possibly might see print):

A survey of New England’s witch trials

A summary of the witch trials in Arkham and Kingsport (and beyond)

A survey of the notable witches (historical and modern) of Lovecraft Country

Something about familiars (including the rat-things)

Tips of creating a witch NPCs

A discussion of Colonial folk magic

Something on the relationship between witches and ghouls

Ideas I’ve had for articles in need of an author (won’t see print unless someone writes them):

A write-up of “Of Evill Sorceries Done in New-England of Daemons in no Human Shape”

Alchemy in New England

A discussion of what colonial witches might call various Mythos beings

New Place – Witches’ Hollow (from the Derleth story of the same name)

New England folklore about witches

I’m hopeful I can recruit a few more authors for the next issue. Why not join in?
