		Science fiction editors and agents, I believe, tend to regard their declining market as a mysterious and regrettable but fundamentally unavoidable fact of nature -- something like the weather, or the way Republicans look at inflation -- which can't be blamed on anybody in particular, especially on science fiction editors and agents.
		Science fiction, as the world once knew it, is dying because its self-contradictory dreams died first, murdered by its own advocates and representatives in places like the Soviet Union, Dachau, the Cambodian "killing fields", Tienanmen Square, and Waco, Texas.
		Science fiction's only hope for survival now is to usher in an alternative literature, offering humanity a fantastic yet credible future worth believing in, worth working for, and therefore worth reading about.

	WritingScienceFiction
		Sometimes the science is faulty, but authors make this sacrifice to make some kind of poetic or thematic statement, Still, if the science were removed, the work would fall apart, and so it still is considered part of the Science Fiction body of literature.
		Science Fiction may be a literature of ideas, but it still carries all the demands of any other type of fiction.
		By the 1960s, the heyday of short fiction was over, and the markets were shrinking, Writers began to discover that one of the few formats left for publishing short fiction were the pulps, most of which were Science Fiction.

	Albert I. Berger- Science-Fiction Critiques of the American Space Program, 1945-1958
		Hardly an area of science fiction produces less evidence that science fiction has a firm grasp on scientific reality than the stories about space flight written in the first ten years of the space age.
		Blish, along with physicists like Enrico Fermi and most science fiction writers, was nostalgic for the days when scientific experiments could be run off with bits of string and crumpled paper, and he believed that such experiments produced better results.
		Science fiction stories by practicing scientists are among the sources checked by Wagoner in his search for new ideas.

	Locus Online: Rich Horton on Editors and Awards
		Sometimes editors are influential because they significantly affect what is written, that is, they make suggestions to writers that cause them to markedly improve their stories.
		Editors are also influential because they significantly affect what writers choose to write about: what kind of stories, and what subject matter.
		The dominant editors all worked at magazines that were among the highest-paying in the field during their tenure, though not necessarily the very highest paying.

	Science Fiction Book Editor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		If you're a science fiction writer you need to ensure that the editor to whom you're entrusting your work shares your mindset.
		The eyes of an in-house editor are trained to crush the weak and champion the strong.
		Editors are not just for new writers; even published writers count on an objective eye to point out problems that were overlooked due to overfamiliarity with the material.

	Science Fiction on Radio
		It is not coincidental that radio pioneer Hugo Gernsback was also considered the father of science fiction as well as one of the first publishers in 1926 of a science fiction magazine.
		Despite a dry spell, another true science fiction that made its way to radio in the thirties is probably the best known and would shake the foundations of belief for listeners coming at a time when the world was already clashing on the European continent.
		Not all science fiction of the period was for adults.

	Science in Science Fiction: Making it Work
		In fact, much of what is labeled "science fiction" today could as easily be labeled fantasy; and if your own style is distinctive enough, that may be the route for you.
		In my own lab and those of my colleagues, I regularly experience natural phenomena stranger than the strangest of science fiction: a superconducting magnet that suspends paper clips in the room next door; a dish of bacteria that generate thousands of mutations overnight; a flask of chemicals that "magically" turns color every few seconds.
		Remember that what makes a science fiction novel "work" in the long run is what makes any good novel work: connection, consistency, and characters that make us care.

	Science Fiction Weekly -- Letters to the Editor
		I think that science fiction's one saving grace, vis-a-vis the other genres, is that it has more than its share of raucous and blunt Cassandras, many of whom I read, with pride in their forthrightness, in this letters column.
		I don't read science fiction, I read romance (by romance, I mean the 19th-century definition, as in a story that doesn't take place in the real world as it currently is).
		Science fiction itself is too strong, too meaningful and too important to be beaten down and defeated by those who believe their best days and their future are behind them.

	Science Fiction Gallery's Reviews
		Fantasy authors have had great effect on science fiction, since a common theme is for a de-evolution of society as calamity overcomes a technilogical society.
		The impact of fantasy in science fiction is enormous, with such modern great film writers such as George Lucas more than willing to admit that space opera is modelled after many of the fantasy books read early in life.
		We "classify space operas" as space based science fiction, typically these might contain a little action based romance, a space battle or two, or at least some cloak and dagger intrigue as a sub plot.

	Amazon.ca: Books: On Writing Science Fiction: The Editors Strike Back (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The 1981 editors of Asimov's magazine use stories from their own periodical to illustrate some excellent points about how to write good science fiction.
		Despite the outdatedness, as the editors lecture on how to set your typewriter in order to produce clear manuscripts, using the short stories is a great idea.
		Throw in a great bibliography and reading list, and some very funny observations from the editors about submissions (they are rejecting papers you typed on, not you personally) and this is a quick read and very informative.

	Edward James & Farah Mendlesohn: The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction
		This book, which is a collection of twenty essays, provides the historical context for science fiction (including the bug-eyed monsters) and explanations of the broad range of subgenres which currently make of the field.
		The first six essays deal with science fiction from its pre-Gernsbackian inception through the rise and dominance of the magazines to the present.
		Although the book is primarily aimed at those who don't have a deep knowledge of science fiction, it works not only as an introduction to the field (and, in effect, a reading guide), but also serves as a guide for those who have been reading science fiction for a long time.

		It was a strange decade, with much of a literate 20-volume fantasy magnum opus by James Branch Cabell and the poetic sophistication of Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett (Lord Dunsany) at one end of a spectrum and the anti-literary raw stories of pulp magazines at the other.
		There was the rise of Surrealism and of Art Deco, two artistic movements, the first of which influenced Science Fiction much later (the "New Wave" of the 1960s).

		But science fiction and Western society have changed greatly since the 1960s, and though new taboos have been born, there aren't many left.
		For example, nonwhite and homosexual characters are rare; the status quo goes largely unchallenged; and a few of the 30 stories are young-adult in tone and subject, with the others having little that would disturb new-millennium youth, a generation accustomed to wearing bondage/fetish gear to the dance clubs.
		Of course the focus is on "extreme visions of speculative fiction," but what exactly is extreme is a matter of opinion.

		They were a major force in the development of science fiction writing and science fiction fandom in the years 1937-1945.
