SF Canada
SF Canada is an organization representing professional Canadian science fiction, fantasy, and horror writers. Founded in 1976, its primary aim is to promote Canadian speculative fiction and its authors both within Canada and internationally.
Membership in SF Canada is juried and open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents who meet specific professional criteria, typically involving publication of works in qualifying venues.
The organization offers a variety of services to its members, including a member directory, publicity opportunities, and representation at conventions. SF Canada also presents the Aurora Awards (Prix Aurora Awards), which recognize the best in Canadian science fiction and fantasy. These awards are presented annually and are voted on by members of the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association (CSFFA).
SF Canada plays a significant role in fostering the Canadian speculative fiction community and raising awareness of Canadian talent in the field. The organization is a valuable resource for writers seeking to connect with other professionals and for readers interested in discovering Canadian speculative fiction.
