You can now add new memberships, including journal subscriptions. From November through December, however, we typically pause membership additions to update our book-keeping system. You will not be able to add journal subscriptions during that period if you are starting a new membership. So it may be best to join before November or January onward.
The SFRA offers two separate annual membership options: * Electronic Only and *Electronic plus Print. Electronic Only (or e-Membership) includes electronic access to all currently available issues of the journals, all back issues of SFRA Review, and the previous three years of Science Fiction Studies. With the e-Membership, there is no geographically-based fee scale. Please Note: Institutional Memberships have been discontinued.
Members include scholars, educators, librarians, editors, authors, publishers, archivists, and artists from across the globe. Academic affiliation is not a requirement of membership.
