Brain Planet The core fans are still there, buying and reading the magazines, but the core is graying, and there just aren't enough younger readers coming into the audience to replace the ones leaving. There will still be the SF book anthologies, but a lack of professional magazine markets, with decent circulation and a good pay rate, could relegate short-story authors to the realm of hobbyists. But I was a reader of science fiction long before I decided to take up writing it, and the field will be much poorer off if we lose these magazines. www.sff.net /people/Brian_Plante/shrinking.htm   (618 words)

Encyclopedia: Science fiction magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: ) A science fiction magazine is a magazine that publishes primarily science fiction. From 1926 until the early 1950s, science fiction magazines were one of the main sources of written science fiction, and the most self-aware and creative school (or schools) of the literature. Science fact is a wordplay on science fiction and refers to hard science as opposed to the pseudo or imaginary science commonly found in science fiction. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Science-fiction-magazine   (695 words)

Science fiction magazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories, was published in a format known as bedsheet, roughly the size of Life magazine but with a square spine. Science fiction magazines began in the United States but there were several major British magazines and science fiction magazines have been published around the world, for example in France and Argentina. It is easy to see that most digest magazines began in the 1950s, in the years between the film Destination Moon, the first major science fiction film in a decade, and the launching of Sputnik, which sparked a new interest in space travel as a real possibility. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Science_fiction_magazine   (2772 words)

Astounding (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Astounding Stories was a seminal science fiction magazine founded in 1930. The word "and" was sometimes replaced in the logo by a pseudo-mathematical symbol comprising a horizontal right-pointing arrow piercing an inverted U-shape. Following 8 years of publication under two different editors, the magazine's helm was assumed by John W. Campbell, who took over in 1937. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Astounding_Science_Fiction   (356 words)

Son of Space Opera: an extract from History of the Science Fiction Magazine by Mike Ashley - infinity plus non-fiction Their interest in science fiction was also being fanned by the space race and America's plan to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. Science fiction was finding new forms, and Galaxy gave sf scope to broaden and explore without letting it run rampant as it was in New Worlds. Silverberg had moved away from science fiction at the end of the fifties, producing, in addition to a mass of pseudonymous erotic novels, a number of reference books, mostly for younger readers. www.infinityplus.co.uk /nonfiction/sonofspaceopera.htm   (5620 words)

The SF Site: A Brief History of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine It was a decent enough approach for a public which, to a large extent, still considered science fiction and fantasy greasy kid's stuff. Not only was Asimov an instantly recognizable name for science fiction readers, he was also a respected author in a wide variety of other fields, commanding shelf space everywhere from history to limericks to bible study -- confounding librarians and filing systems the world over.

How to Sell a Short Story to a Science Fiction Magazine - Associated Content It is simply imperative, however, that you study each of the science fiction magazines you will target to get a feel for the short stories they have accepted in the past. Much of what science fiction magazines receive in the way of submissions are trite stories filled with the same plot lines of intergalactic warfare and alien abductions that can be found all over the history of the genre. Because there are so many aspiring science fiction writers out there, they would rather read one-page query letters to weed out the stories they definitely don't want to see than try to wade through hundreds of 10,000-word short stories. www.associatedcontent.com /article/223633/how_to_sell_a_short_story_to_a_science.html   (651 words)

Asimov’s Science Fiction remains that home, as well as the publisher of some of the field’s best known authors. www.asimovs.com   (341 words)

"Thought Experiments" Science fiction writers usually hand-wave this step: in Heinlein’s "Man Who Sold the Moon," the gimmick is that once the computer becomes complex enough, with enough "random numbers," it just wakes up. Think of the global freak-out caused by the relatively trivial advent of peer-to-peer file-sharing tools: Universities are wiretapping their campuses and disciplining computer science students for writing legitimate, general purpose software; grandmothers and twelve-year-olds are losing their life savings; privacy and due process have sailed out the window without so much as a by-your-leave. Science or spirituality, you could hardly ask for a subject better tailored to technological speculation and drama. www.asimovs.com /_issue_0506/thoughtexperiments.shtml   (3810 words)

Science Fiction Weekly Interview The other magazines tend to share their audiences, which may result in each of them having a smaller market share. Schmidt: I think the main difference is that we usually put a more equal emphasis on the "science" and "fiction" aspects of our science fiction--that is, we expect our writers to give equal care to making both parts as good as they can, and as smoothly integrated as they can. Magazines don't have the resources to do that, so moviegoers seldom even know that they exist. www.scifi.com /sfw/issue222/interview.html   (1868 words)
