The editorial team will consist of editors for the MOSF Journal of Science Fiction under the supervision of Monica Louzon, the journal’s Managing Editor. They’ll be working with the Museum’s graphic design, legal support, and social media teams to ensure the anthology is completed on time and contributors get paid. Other Museum volunteers and teams will pitch in, too, to make sure the take-home exhibit arrives to backers on time.

Authors of original fiction submit a story through our Green Submissions page (no simultaneous submissions).

All submissions will be assigned to initial readers, who will evaluate manuscripts and provide recommendations to our editors. Once our editors have determined which original works to accept, we will notify all authors of their manuscripts’ statuses. We’ll send out contracts to accepted authors shortly thereafter, and once edits have been made and approved, the final anthology manuscript will be sent to our Graphic Design team and then to our printer.

Based in Washington, DC, the Museum of Science Fiction is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a narrative on the science fiction genre across all media and its relationship to the real world. The Museum’s mission is to create a center of gravity where art and science are powered by imagination. Science fiction is the story of humanity: who we were, who we are, and who we dream to be. The Museum will present this story through displays, interactivity, and programs in ways that excite, educate, entertain, and create a new generation of dreamers.

In the first step to fulfilling the Museum’s mission, our team will construct a Preview Museum in the Washington, DC metro region where we can test exhibit concepts, programs, and interactive technologies. This will give visitors a place to provide feedback that will help shape the development process for our full-scale facility. The Preview Museum will also allow us to share how interactive exhibits can be used as educational tools in conjunction with classroom materials that teachers can integrate into their daily lesson plans.
