About

Dark Matter Magazine was started during the COVID-19 lock-down of 2020. It is the brainchild of a dedicated group of science fiction enthusiasts with professional backgrounds in trade publishing, peer-reviewed science journals, marketing, corporate communications, broadcast news media, information technology, computer science, and graphic design. We hope to grow Dark Matter into one of the premier science fiction storytelling outlets on the market today.
