Strange Horizons is looking to add an additional articles editor to work with our editorial collective.

The Articles Department publishes non-fiction on the fourth Monday of the month, nine times a year. Pieces include essays, interviews, round-tables, and conversations. Articles editors also edit and publish columns by our regular columnists.

As an articles editor, you will be working alongside current editors Joyce Chng and Gautam Bhatia, but you will have complete autonomy to commission, edit, and publish non-fiction pieces independently. Our articles editors have a diverse range of interests within genre, and you’re encouraged to follow your own in commissioning pieces (as long as it is within the broader Strange Horizons mandate).

For a sense of the kind of non-fiction we’ve published recently, please take a look at the archives.

Like all other editorial positions at Strange Horizons, this is a volunteer role. We anticipate the time commitment to not exceed a couple of hours a week, on an average.

If you are interested in applying, please email gautam.strangehorizons@gmail.com with a brief paragraph about your interest in the position, your broad areas of interest within SFF, and any prior relevant editorial experience.



Gautam Bhatia is an Indian speculative fiction writer, and the co-ordinating editor of Strange Horizons. He is the author of the science fiction duology, The Wall (HarperCollins India, 2020) and The Horizon (HarperCollins India, 2021). Both novels featured on Locus Magazine's year-end recommended reading list, and The Wall was shortlisted for the Valley of Words Award for English-language fiction. His short stories have appeared in The Gollancz Book of South Asian Science Fiction and LiveMint magazine. He is based in New Delhi, India.

Despite the barriers between different cetacean languages, our song crosses the vastness of the oceans, traveling in sync with the currents and even traversing great expanses of land. Our singing conveys the concept of “hope,” which is how we define the wait until our home feels safe again.
When you falter, recall that age is not your master
Do you swallow big blue whale eyes straight out of the jar?
When Le Guin talks about genre writers as “the realists of a larger reality” we surrender the power of that when we narrow our work to only depict one type of future. We have great power to restore alternate narratives, to re-broaden the range of imaginable futures.
