In 1989, I had my first story published in a glossy magazine - semi-professional magazine, as the terminology goes, the wonderful and long-lived Interzone, edited at that time by multi-talented and Ballardian extraordinaire, David Pringle.

| Issue #1 |
A string of other semi-professional and zine sales followed. Most of them are lost in the mists of time (though Mike Ashley has the story of them and the zeitgeist of those days in his book Science Rebels, available here).
A dozen dozen of the first couple of hundred Interzone issues are digitized and online at the estimable Internet Archive. I do not know if the estimable Internet Archive actually has permission to do so or if this is one of its regular excursions around copyright in these Plague Years.
And one of those issues is the one my short story is in. I called it The Continuous Council Workman, but editor Pringle persuaded me to dial that title down to The Outside Door.

Really takes me back!
