Sci-Fi & Fantasy Subscription Info
Get ready for the launch of our long-awaited SF&F subscription.
Our current two subscriptions (Fantasy and Sci-Fi) focus on backlist series...
This new subscription will focus on traditionally published new releases across both genres.
WHAT IS OUR SF&F SUBSCRIPTION?
Our new 'SF&F' subscription will focus on front-list titles from both new voices and established authors. The aim is to take titles that we would have done outside of this subscription, and kick it up a gear on the artwork and finishes front.
Titles such as The Last Vigilant, The Tainted Cup and Shroud - to the level of editions such as Hyperion, The Devils and Blood Over Bright Haven.
By implementing a subscription model, we hope to decrease the amount of weekend sales taking place each month. This should result in a more even spread of special editions produced by us across the year. It will also help with bringing down the usual higher costs of these books.
With that said, we will still be producing special editions outside of our subscriptions, but this path will allow us to continue upping the specs on our sub specials!
REVEALS, BILLING & SHIPPING
Reveal Style
We will be posting a teaser reel and a theme reveal ahead of the billing date for each SF&F box. The theme reveal will include a list of specs and artist details.
Payment & Billing
The SF&F subscription will cost £24 + p&p per month and will be renewed on the 5th of every other month. For now, the subscription will be bi-monthly, meaning payment will only be taken every other month/once every two months.
Here is a quick payment breakdown for 2025 and early 2026:
Shipping
Similar to our existing two subs, SF&F subscription books will ship out a month after payment has been taken. This is to allow the processing of skips and any payment errors.
SKIPPING TITLES & FREQUENCY
Skipping Titles
Each SF&F subscriber will be entitled to skip half the books featured on the subscription. Whilst the subscription is bi-monthly, this equates to up to 3 titles skipped per subscriber, per year.
From Bi-Monthly to Monthly
We'd like to highlight that we are aiming to switch the SF&F subscription from bi-monthly to monthly sometime next year. This change will be announced ahead of time with plenty of warning.
To accommodate the switch to a monthly service, we will be increasing the number of skips allowed per subscriber from three to nine. This means that although the total books produced via the subscription will increase, subscribers will still be able to get the same number of books through the use of skips.

The interest list will close on Monday 4th August at 9AM BST
