UPDATE ON SUBMISSIONS: Dear writers, unfortunately the submission portal will remain closed until at least Friday. This is due to autoforms self-updating with AI "enhancement" that has scrambled the system and we are currently working to remove.

Hi everyone. We need to inform you that the submission portal will temporarily close due to a technical issue. All submissions have been received and we aim to resolve this ASAP. Apologies to those about to trust us with their work and we hope you can hold on for a week or so. Updates soon!

Tune in for some of the most unique characters I've gotten the chance to narrate yet, in "Water Memory" ...

We're very excited to announce that an interview with Tristan Evarts, our editor-in-chief, is forthcoming in Vector @bsfa.bsky.social. Stay tuned to hear about the history of Utopia SF, what kind of submissions really catch our attention, and the kind of pitfalls to avoid!

I’m officially a weird fiction author! (Whether my writing is “weird” vs just weird is a bigger question). See my human-alien separation lament in @utopiascifi.bsky.social weird fiction special issue. So honored to be included! www.utopiasciencefiction.com/product-page...

In my ancient history, when I was learning about antiparticles while studying physics, I pondered what other 'impetuses' might have particle-antiparticles. Eventually those ponderings evolved into my story "Blobs of Luck" which you can read in the latest edition of www.utopiasciencefiction.com

This has one of my most interesting interviews - big thanks to S. T. Joshi! #weird

As we move towards our Cozy Science Fiction Issue, we're thinking about the kinds of worlds we'd like to live in so we'd like to pose that age old question: would you rather be a jedi in the Star Wars Universe or an elf in Middle Earth? #lotr #starwars

Day 39! I read False Equivalencies by @evgiaconia.bsky.social published in @utopiascifi.bsky.social. What really defines us? What we do, or what we can do? Or something else entirely? Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/02/08/s...

Subsequent conversations over the next day or two gave me time to add a moon and other details, employing the colors I had on hand at the moment. He looks determined to make his way, and I’m betting he has a sizable appetite. Better steer clear of him! 4/4 www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/we...

We have our next editor's meeting coming up shortly. We'd love to hear from you if there's anything you would like for us to discuss or if there's something you'd like to see more of on the pages of Utopia Science Fiction Magazine!

Y'all. You sent me and @utopiascifi.bsky.social WAY TOO MANY amazing Weird poems. My choices! They have become so hard! 😭

We love reading the reviews on Tangent Online, particularly when they cover us. It's an especially good read for writers, searching for what reviewers like in a story! tangentonline.com/e-market-qua...

As we stride boldly into a new year, here are our themes (so far) for 2026! #sciencefiction #submissions open.substack.com/pub/utopiasc...

Just finished writing my intro to an interview with S. T. Joshi for the weird fiction issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social. I think readers are going to be particularly interested to hear his thoughts on how the genre is to be properly defined #weirdfiction

Thought I'd share one of my l#sciencefiction #SciFiArt #scifi arts. This retro piece was drawn as the cover for an imaginary book called "Have Ray Gun, Will Travel". Please do take a look at my other #artworks in this #DecemberDelights issue of @utopiascifi.bsky.social
