Interzone (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See Interzone (book) for the story by William S. Burroughs
Interzone is a British science fiction and fantasy magazine, published since 1982. Both genres are covered in the critical articles, but the original stories are mainly science fiction.
Interzone was initially published quarterly, from Spring 1982 to Issue 24, Summer 1988. It was then on a bi-monthly schedule from September/October 1988 to Issue 34, March/April 1990. For over a decade, it was then published monthly until several slippages of schedule reduced it to an effectively bi-monthly magazine in 2003. The founding editor, David Pringle, stepped down in early 2004, with issue 193. Andy Cox, of TTA Press, which publishes The Third Alternative, then took ownership of Interzone, which has subsequently undergone a series of redesigns while maintaining high fiction standards.
The magazine was nominated several times for the Hugo award for best semiprozine, winning the award in 1995. In 2005 the Worldcon committee gave David Pringle a Special Award for his work on the magazine.
Interzone has been responsible for starting the careers of a number of important science fiction writers, including Stephen Baxter, Kim Newman, Alastair Reynolds and Greg Egan, as well as publishing works by established writers such as Brian Aldiss, J.G. Ballard, Iain M. Banks, William Gibson, Christopher Priest, Ian Watson and many others.
