Website Review: Shoreline of Infinity

Shoreline of Infinity is more than just another fanzine website. Shouting out in new voices and works in science fiction for and by the people who care most about the genre, Shoreline of Infinity makes a strong statement that “talent should be rewarded.

Helmed by Editor-in-Chief Noel Chidwick, this mushroom cloud of literary prowess ignites from Edinburgh, Scotland, and the impact can be felt around the globe. With intention on attracting both fans and writers of science fiction and expanding beyond the borders of Edinburgh, this little website is bound to make a splash when it comes to providing smart, fresh stories.

Always on the lookout for new inspiration, Shoreline of Infinity lists submission guidelines with direct contact forms for fiction, artwork, poetry, reviews, and even talented bloggers to help ad to their team.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Sure, there is a lot of content on the site to leave you wondering for hours and the submission guidelines are just as enticing to new writers as the new stories are to fans, but it doesn’t stop there. In addition to the quarterly publication which started with Issue #1 back in June of 2015, readers can also find the books (under The New Curiosity Shop banner), The Galactic Festival: Puzzles by Paul Holmes, The Elements of Time by Duncan Lunan and illustrated by Sydney Jordan, and Other Colours by Michael F. Russell.

As for their publishing side of things, even though the sixth issue was just released, there’s no doubt the previous five will soon be added to your “to-read” list also.
