Galaxy Science Fiction, like its sister publication, Worlds of IF, is being revived and relaunched by Starship Sloane Publishing Company, Inc.

Galaxy Science Fiction magazine is back! Originally running from 1950 to 1980, Starship Sloane Publishing has revived the classic magazine for a contemporary audience, featuring both authors from its original run and beyond into today’s global SF landscape, with works spanning seven countries.

Galaxy Science Fiction picks up where it left off. The new issue is #263, and includes fiction, essays, poetry and art by:

  • Eugen Bacon
  • F. J. Bergmann
  • Eliane Boey
  • Ronan Cahill
  • A J Dalton
  • Bob Eggleton
  • Zdravka Evtimova
  • David Gerrold
  • Richard Grieco
  • Rodney Matthews
  • Bruce Pennington
  • Daniel Pomarède
  • Gareth L. Powell
  • Christopher Ruocchio
  • Paulo Sayeg
  • Robert Silverberg
  • Nigel Suckling
  • Dave Vescio

Galaxy #263 will be available in digest paperback and as a free PDF download at https://galaxysf.com/. This free sample issue shows that it really is the Galaxy we remember. Wouldn’t it be grand to subscribe and collect a new shelf full of issues to enjoy again and again?

Jean-Paul L. Garnier is reprising his role as deputy editor-in-chief, Dr. Daniel Pomarède as science editor, Robert Silverberg as contributing editor, and F. J. Bergmann as design & layout guru. Pedro Iniguez has been brought on board as proofreader.

The frequency of publishing will depend more on the quality the team at Starship Sloane Publishing can bring to the work than the calendar, we think. All the better. Do a thing right, and it’s worth doing.

Says editor-in-chief Justin T. O’Conor Sloane of the new project:

This might be a slow process, as we are wonderfully busy with the booming relaunch of Worlds of IF already, and I have no desire to make things overly frenetic. The idea is to methodically breathe new life into Galaxy. It seems only fitting that these two magazines should walk hand in hand once again. I will be keeping this celebrated magazine skinny, minimalist in style, and highly selective with work paid at a professional rate. The quality will speak for itself.
