Planetside The Online Magazine of SFWA

Planetside: The Online Magazine of SFWA is open to pitches for original nonfiction articles on topics that might be of interest to creators of science fiction and fantasy (SFF) around the globe. We welcome pitches from both SFWA members and non-members. Black, Indigenous, and other writers of color, as well as writers of other underrepresented identities, are encouraged to submit article pitches.

SFWA primarily serves SFF writers working in both short- and long-form prose (including MG/YA), game writing, speculative poetry, comics, script writing, and translations, so we’re interested in seeing topics relevant to those audiences. They may be geared toward experienced writers or beginning writers. Potential topics may relate but are not limited to the craft of writing, research and worldbuilding techniques, writing across genres and formats, the business of writing and publishing, marketing for creators, media tie-ins, personal perspectives, and current SFF trends and topics. We are also interested in pieces on SFF communities and structures outside the United States.
