THE BSFA

The BSFA was created by a group of fans in 1958, and was soon established and run as an official national body by readers, authors, critics, editors, booksellers and publishers with the aim of appreciating and encouraging science fiction in every form.

Becoming a member of the BSFA puts you in touch with like-minded people across the country and beyond; whilst linking you to a rich tradition and enabling you to contribute to a vibrant future. Many groundbreaking figures in SFF have been members throughout its history, and many more continue to be today.

The BSFA Committee is not a mysterious clique or a hard-to-enter social circle, we’re just the people who have volunteered to produce the BSFA’s publications and do the work that keeps the organisation thriving.
