Science Fiction Foundation

The Science Fiction Foundation thrives with the goodwill and support of its membership. Members can include individuals, associations and academic institutions. Because we are a registered charity, we have a series of competitive rates to meet your individual or institiutional needs. Membership grants you attendance and voting rights at our annual AGM, where you can question the committee and contribute to the future direction of the SFF. In return, you will receive a yearly subscription to our journal (two copies per year) at no extra charge. Your subscriptions are highly valued - not only do they cover the cost of the journal, they also contribute to the up-keep of the SFF Collection in addition to all the other educational and outreach work that we do. We are grateful to our members and value their support.

​

Our annual AGM, run in recent years with the BSFA's annual AGM, takes the form of a mini-convention. We have at least one Guest of Honour per year from the worlds of science and science fiction. Please see a list of our previous GoHs here.
