We provide the following information as an archive. About Run from the Pacific Northwest but publishing worldwide, F. W. Fife is a literary science fiction publisher that selects stories embodying innovative storytelling, imaginative plots, and exceptional writing. Our mission is to blend time-honored and traditional science fiction works in the vein of The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, with ground breaking and innovative stories that challenge barriers and push the science fiction genre to its fullest potential. To give an idea of what we’re looking for, we’re passionate about post-apocalyptic and dystopian settings, dynamic and complex characters, and crossover genre pieces.
