The Future Fire publishes beautiful and useful fiction and poetry that focuses on the social-political elements of imaginary, futuristic, fantastic, horrifying, surreal or otherwise speculative universes. We are particularly interested in feminist, queer, postcolonial and ecological themes, and writing by under-represented voices (but nobody is required to self-identify, publicly or privately, as any identity).

In the past we have run Feminist Science Fiction and Queer Science Fiction themed issues of TFF. These themes are now closed. However, there will never come a time when Queer or Feminist Science Fiction or fantasy is not welcome at TFF.
