Interstellar Flight Magazine Best of Year Two

Founded by Holly Lyn Walrath, Interstellar Flight Magazine is an online SFF and pop culture mag devoted to essays on what's new in the world of speculative genres. With interviews, personal essays, rants, and raves, the authors of Interstellar Flight Magazine explore the vast outreaches of nerdom. Our 2020 anthology covers a wide range of topics from books to anime to film to television to feminism to queerness to racism and beyond.

This year's anthology also includes seven stories from the 2020 Alternate Endings submission call, guest edited by Jamileh Jemison. This call asked writers to reimagine our world for the better, giving us the alternate endings to 2020 that reinvisioned the future. Their work is a bright light in the grim darkness of 2020.

​Sydney Richardson: A fairly average person through and through, Sydney is a born and raised Jersey girl with a Bachelor's in Liberal Studies from Syracuse University. Unable to settle in one place, she's constantly changing cities, but the one constant has been her lifelong love of speculative fiction. You can find some of Sydney's work at Anathema Magazine, and the Decoded 2020 Pride Anthology, and you can probably find her reading the poetic works of Nikki Giovanni.
