The SFWA Blog is open to pitches for original nonfiction articles on topics that might be of interest to creators of science fiction and fantasy (SFF) throughout the globe.

SFWA primarily serves SFF writers working in both short and longform prose, games, poetry, translations, and comics, so we’re interested in seeing topics relevant to those audiences. They may be geared toward experienced writers or beginning writers, but we tend to run articles geared toward experienced writers more frequently. Potential topics may relate to, but are not limited to: the craft of writing, the business of writing and publishing, critical examinations of tropes in SFF, social issues in SFF, media tie-ins, writing across genres and formats, personal perspectives, career transitions, what to know about self-publishing, current trends and topics in the SFF zeitgeist, and managing multiple projects. We are particularly interested in pieces on SFF communities and structures outside of the USA. Articles can take the form of an essay, reported piece, how-to, listicle, and Q&A. A series of articles may be considered.
