The CSFG helps science fiction, fantasy and horror writers and illustrators develop their craft through critiquing, and sharing news and experiences.

The CSFG was formed in 1999 with a small founding membership and has grown to a network of more than 100. While the CSFG is based in Canberra, membership is now open to writers and illustrators of speculative fiction Australia-wide.

What is Speculative Fiction?

Speculative fiction refers to all non-factual writing that reflects alternative realities that explore possibilities not contained in the real world of the present day. The term includes all stories that take place in a setting contrary to known reality, or that contain a fabulist or speculative element. The best known types of speculative fiction are science fiction, fantasy and horror, but the genre extends to magic realism, myth and folklore, surrealist writings and much more.
