Locus Magazine, covering the science fiction and fantasy field since 1968, is a monthly 8 1/2 x 11'' magazine often with a bright red border. Locus publishes news of the Science Fiction publishing field with extensive reviews and listings of new science fiction books and magazines. The magazine is published from Oakland, California. It was co-founded, published, and edited by Charles N. Brown until his death in 2009; the current editor-in-chief is Liza Groen Trombi. This website has information about subscribing to the magazine and purchasing back issues, cumulative indexes to book reviews and interviews, and posts limited samples from each issue, including the Table of Contents, excerpts from the interviews, and listings of Bestsellers and New & Notable Books. Occasional columns (currently those by Cory Doctorow) and book reviews are also posted on the site. Most magazine content is available only in the print issues. Locus Magazine publishes:
What They Say... LOCUS is the only periodical I read from cover to cover. It is also the only magazine which makes me drop everything when it arrives...
--Arthur C. Clarke
I told my students...You have to subscribe to LOCUS! --Connie Willis
Anyone whose interest in SF extends beyond reading it to wanting to read about it should be aware of LOCUS. --The New York Times
LOCUS manages to be broad and deep at the same time. I appreciate the continuous contact with worldwide science fiction, the many viewpoints in the reviews, the lively and intelligent writing. --Orson Scott Card
The sheer miracle of the production and survival of LOCUS in a field like ours never ceases to amaze me. It's essential reading in this house, and the closest thing we have to an international newszine. --Terry Pratchett
LOCUS is now an intrinsic part of everything that science fiction is and does, a primary resource for innumerable enterprises, and a continuing source of information and entertainment. --Michael Swanwick
Without LOCUS we would be groping around in the dark. But LOCUS is there, shining light into all the dark corners. --Robert A. Heinlein
