Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Goldsmiths Press is launching a new imprint dedicated to discovering and publishing new intersectional feminist science fiction.

The imprint, to be titled Gold SF, is now open for novel-length submissions.

Director of Goldsmiths Press, Professor Sarah Kember, said: “Goldsmiths Press was set up with the intention to re-energise the idea of a university press, and to innovate in terms of both subject matter and publishing practice.

“Science fiction looks to the future and tries to imagine new ways of being in the world. Goldsmiths Press is a natural home for speculative fiction, and this imprint will promote voices answering to the unprecedented times in which we find ourselves now living.”

Gold SF is supported by a growing editorial board comprised of established academics, authors and SF experts, including Anne Charnock; Elizabeth English; Joan Haran; Maureen Kincaid Speller; Paul March-Russell (co-founder); Robin Reid; Aisha Subramanian; and Sheree Renée Thomas.

The board is chaired by Dr Una McCormack, a New York Times best-selling science fiction writer. Formerly a lecturer in creative writing, Dr McCormack has published and lectured widely on science fiction and women’s writing.

Gold SF co-founder, Dr Paul March-Russell is Honorary Fellow in Comparative Literature at the University of Kent. He is editor of Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction, commissioning editor for SF Storyworlds (Gylphi Press) and a UK Rep for the SFRA. His current project, besides Gold SF, is a 40th anniversary celebration of Russell Hoban’s Riddley Walker:
