''Interzone'' is a British fantasy and science fiction magazine. Published since 1982, ''Interzone'' is the eighth longest-running English language science fiction magazine in history〔("Interzone Evaluated: Awards, Stories Reprinted, Issues Published" ) by Colin Harvey, Suite 101, 19 July 2010, Retrieved 18 Sep 2010.〕 and the longest-running British SF magazine. Stories published in ''Interzone'' have been finalists for the Hugo Awards and have won a Nebula Award and numerous British Science Fiction Awards. == History == ''Interzone'' was initially produced by an unpaid collective of eight peopleJohn Clute, Alan Dorey, Malcolm Edwards, Colin Greenland, Graham James, Roz Kaveney, Simon Ounsley and David Pringle.〔Pringle, David. "Editorial", ''Interzone'', Vol 1 No. 1 Spring 1982〕 According to Dorey, the group had been fans of the science fiction magazine ''New Worlds'' and wanted to create a "''New Worlds'' for the 1980s, something that would publish only great fiction and be a proper outlet for new writers."〔"Celebrating 25 Years of Interzone, comments by Alan Dorey," ''Interzone'' No. 212, Sept.-Oct. 2007, pages 4–5.〕 While the magazine started as an editorial collective, soon editor David Pringle was the driving force behind ''Interzone''. In 1984 ''Interzone'' received a generous donation from Sir Clive Sinclair;〔David Pringle and Colin Greenland, "Editorial," ''Interzone'', No. 8, Summer 1984〕 the magazine later received support from the Arts Council of Great Britain, Yorkshire Arts, and the Greater London Arts Association. ''Interzone'' was first initially published quarterly, from Spring 1982 to Issue 24, Summer 1988. It was then on a bi-monthly schedule from September/October 1988 to Issue 34, March/April 1990. For over a decade, it was then published monthly until several slippages of schedule reduced it to an effectively bi-monthly magazine in 2003. Founding editor David Pringle stepped down in early 2004 with issue 193. Andy Cox of TTA Press, which publishes ''The Third Alternative'', then took ownership of ''Interzone''. Since the switch ''Interzone'' has undergone a series of redesigns while maintaining high fiction standards. The redesigned ''Interzone'' has been called the "handsomest SF magazine in the business" by Gardner Dozois.〔"Summation: 2007" from ''The Year's Best Science Fiction, 25th Annual Collection'', Gardner Dozois, editor. St. Martin's Griffin, page xv.〕 In 2006, the Science Fiction Writers of America removed the magazine from its list of professional markets due to low rates and small circulation.〔Gardner Dozois, ''The Year's Best Science Fiction'', 2006〕 However, within the genre field the magazine is still ranked as a professional publication.〔"2009 Magazine Summary," ''Locus Magazine'', February 2010, page 55.〕 As Dozois has stated, "By the definition of SFWA, ''Interzone'' doesn't really qualify as a 'professional magazine' because of its low rates and circulation, but as it's thoroughly professional in the caliber of writers that it attracts and in the quality of the fiction it produces, just about everyone considers it to be a professional magazine anyway."〔"Summation: 2009" from ''The Year's Best Science Fiction, 27th Annual Collection'', edited by Gardner Dozois, St. Martin's Griffin, page xv.〕 It pays semi-professional rates to writers.〔(Duotrope's Digest – Publication Details: Interzone )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Interzone (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
