Mainstream Publishers
 Del
Rey Books
- A lot of Sci-Fi publishers now have
home pages which provide information on new releases, upcoming
releases as well as sample chapters from some of their books.
Del Rey and Tor (below) are two of the larger Sci-Fi book publishers.
Other publishers like Baen and Warner also have home pages out
there.
Tor
SF and Fantasy
The best of the big Sci-Fi/Fantasy publishers
in my mind. Tor has a lot of web links to their author homepages.
- Sprectra Science
Fiction Forum
Bantam's webpage which provides sample chapters from their latest
books, interviews with authors and news from the sci-fi world.

releases.

to you by the Ace and Boulevard imprints of Putnam Berkley Publishing
Group.

Fiction novels.

Small Presses
-
- Phantasia
Press Inc.
- Now to the small presses! There are
a few small presses who specialize in publishing some really
high quality writers in very fine hardcovers. If you are a true
sci-fi reader you should support these small presses. These people
are not into publishing to make big bucks, but for the love of
genre in my opinion. Phantasia produces some of the nicest editions
I've ever seen. They are all printed on long-life, acid-free
paper and sewn in reinforced bindings. They have published titles
by authors such as: Orson Scott Card, David Brin, Spider Robinson,
C.J. Cherryh, Philip Jose Farmer, Alan Dean Foster, Harlan Ellison
and others. Many of their titles have gone out of print and are
now worth a considerable amount to the book collector. Take a
look at this website!

- Donald M. Grant,
Publisher
- Donald M. Grant is another small publisher
who specializes in producing books in the fantasy genre. They've
been publishing books for over 45 years. Like Phantasia their
forte is the production of fine editions designed for the book
collector. The artwork in their books is truly outstanding. They
have published titles by authors such as Stephen King, Robert
Howard, Roger Zelazny, H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, Peter Straub
and many more.
-
- Necronomicon Press
- Necronomicon Press was founded in 1976,
primarily to publish the works of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors
of the horror field. Since that time the Press has issued hundreds
of publications covering all aspects of the horror genre, from
reprints of old fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, to printing
the work of some of the very best contemporary authors. In 1994
and 1996 the Press received the coveted World Fantasy Award for
its work in the small press field, and also received the equally
prestigious British Fantasy Award for its publication Necrofile:
The Review of Horror Fiction in 1995.

Science Fiction

have won: twenty-nine Hugo Awards, twenty-three Nebula Awards,
World Fantasy Awards, Theodore Sturgeon Awards, and Homer Awards
the prestigious Locus Award for Best Magazine of the Year for
an unprecedented ten years in a row. Its editors have won twelve
Hugo Awards for Best Editor, and for the last several years Asimov's
has placed more stories on the Final Hugo Ballot than all of
its competitors combined, more than twice as many as its closest
competitor. Along with Analog and F&SF these are the "mothers"
of zines.
-
- Analog
- Astounding/Analog (often just called
ASF) is considered the magazine where science fiction grew up.
When editor John W. Campbell took over in 1938, he brought to
Astounding an unprecedented insistence on placing equal emphasis
on both words of "science fiction." No longer satisfied
with gadgetry and action per se, Campbell demanded that his writers
try to think out how science and technology might really develop
in the future and, most importantly, how those changes would
affect the lives of human beings. The new sophistication soon
made Astounding the undisputed leader in the field, and Campbell
began to think the old title was too "sensational"
to reflect what the magazine was actually doing. He chose "Analog"
in part because he thought of each story as an "analog simulation"
of a possible future, and in part because of the close analogy
he saw between the imagined science in the stories he was publishing
and the real science being done in laboratories around the world.
Real science and technology have always been important in ASF,
not only as the foundation of its fiction, but as the subject
of articles about real research with big implications for the
future.

and fantasy magazine, founded in 1982, and has now reached over
130 issues. Short-listed for the Hugo Award many years running,

Watson and Gene Wolfe, but its particular strength has been in

best SF zines out there. .

stories that combine science fiction, magic realism, fantasy,

-
- Crank!
-- The Literary Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine
- Crank! bubbled up out of the science
fiction field in the early '90s, where the short fiction markets
had become (and for the most part, still are) stagnant and extremely
homogenized. Their stories are fueled by active creative imagination,
written by authors with distinctive, interesting styles. That
makes it a little hard to describe; there's no "typical"
Crank! story, except being unlike anything you're likely to find
in another science fiction or literary magazine. Try an issue.

Altair a new step into the future of Science Fiction and Fantasy
