Authentic Science Fiction Monthly, Issue 45 — page 3: what you’re looking at

Machine-transcribed from the original scan — historical spelling and the odd misread are preserved.

Next month sees the biggest British science fiction fan event of the year—the National Convention. This year, for the first time since before the war, itis to be held outside London, and that makes it rather special. All the latest details of the Convention are given on pages 151 and 152. Re- member, I will be there and looking out for readers. Til have a name-tag on my lapel, so you'll be able to find me even if there are other beards about! Now in this issue we have quite a line-up. Kenneth Bulmer, who has lately been making something of a name for himself with science fiction and whose short story ap- peared in Authenticlast month, - gives us the long novel, Some Other Time. You'll be wanting Bulmer again, we feel. E. C. Tubb, another young man who has rocketed to—as yet— minor fame in the field, returns to Authentic with his powerful short, Death Deferred. Makes you think, does Tubb. ho I CAMPRIM rd Es-°*. G. P. Mann is a newcomer to the ranks of science fiction writing, though he has turned out a goodly number of thriliers. I think you will agree that his Third Hand indicates a latent talent for the field as well as a firm grasp of the writer’s craft. Dimensional Destiny by Graham Winslow introduces another brand new writer to Authentic’s columns. His story will be grist to the mill of all those who like think- ing around multidimensiona! ideas—and that seems to in- clude most of you. This month, too, we are giving you more non-fiction, since that is what you seem to want. Brian W. Aldiss sent me an article based on my remarks in a recent editorial about how science fiction should be writ- ten. You'll find it within. Let - me knowif you agree with him. Looking to the future, the way we do, C. V. Jackson’s article on medical progress by 2000 A.D. provides some talk- ing points and thinking pivots, not so much as to whether comiclooks.corn
