MOSF Journal of Science Fiction

The MOSF Journal of Science Fiction is seeking applications for new editors to start in the spring of 2023. We seek editors with an established record of expertise in science fiction studies and related fields. New editors are expected to join an editorial team committed to promoting rigorous standards in publishing and attracting top-quality research to all subfields of science fiction. As a scholar-run journal, please note that we currently rely on volunteer-based labor.

The Journal is also seeking peer reviewers on a rolling basis. We are looking for reviewers interested in academic writing on science fiction (broadly defined) to assist the editorial team’s mission to promote top-quality scholarship. An ideal peer reviewer has experience in academic fields related to, but not solely based in, science and speculative fiction study, and a willingness to provide cogent written reviews.
