The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, founded in 1949, is the award-winning SF magazine which is the original publisher of SF classics like Stephen King's Dark Tower, Daniel Keyes's Flowers for Algernon, and Walter M. Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz. Each double-sized bimonthly issue offers:
compelling short fiction by writers such as Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, Terry Bisson and many others;
the science fiction field's most respected and outspoken opinions on Books, Films and Science;
humor from our cartoonists and writers.

We offer a secure server which will allow you to purchase a one or a two year subscription for yourself or a one year subscription as a gift for someone else, both by credit card (Visa or Mastercard). If you prefer PayPal, both subscription offers can be purchased that way along with selected back issues.

F&SF has moved to a bimonthly schedule. Although the change was mentioned in an earlier editorial, we realize this change is rather abrupt, for which we apologize. Economic forces (particularly postal rate increases) have led us to publish bimonthly double issues.

Subscribers can find their subscription expiration dates on their mailing labels, at the end of the line above the name. If your subscription expired with the December 2009 or with the January 2010 issue, it now expires with the Dec./Jan. 2009-2010 issue. So anyone who subscribed for one year will receive a year's worth of issues. Subscribers with questions can always contact us here or by phone or mail.

We thank our readers—both longtime and new—and we look forward to publishing F&SF long into the future. Take a look at last issue's competition for a chance to win a subscription for the next sixty years.

For more discussion of the change, see our blog.

This year, two stories from F&SF appear on the Hugo Ballot. "Pride and Prometheus" by John Kessel and "The Political Prisoner" by Charles Coleman Finlay are available for you to read until the awards are announced.

"Daughters of Prime" by Lawrence C. Connolly first appeared in the July 2007 issue of F&SF. A sequel to it appears in our current issue.

Dave Truesdale is back with the latest installment of his column, Off On A Tangent: F&SF Style. This one is titled Through The Singularity Glass: The Emperor's Rice Revisited.

In addition to our fiction, each issue features:
book reviews by Charles de Lint, Elizabeth Hand, James Sallis and Michelle West
Curiosities which looks at odd books of enduring interest
humor by Paul Di Filippo and film commentary by Kathi Maio or Lucius Shepard
