Non-profit foundation promoting literary quality in speculative fiction. Launched in January 2004, the SLF helps promote literary quality in speculative fiction by awarding annual grants to writers, and by serving as a hub of useful information for speculative fiction readers, writers, editors and publishers. The Speculative Literature Foundation addresses historical inequities in access to literary opportunities for marginalized writers. Our staff and board are committed to representing racial, gender, and class diversity at all levels of our organization. This commitment is at the heart of what the Speculative Literature Foundation stands for: equal access to create and advance science fiction, fantasy, and horror literature. We strive to enable writers at any stage of their career and of any age, any ethnicity, any gender expression, from any location and of any economic or social status, who want to learn about, or create within, the speculative arts.
