The British Fantasy Society exists to promote and enjoy the genres of fantasy, science fiction and horror in all its forms.
The British Weird Fantasy Society began in 1971 as an off-shoot of the British Science Fiction Association. The ‘Weird’ was soon dropped and the BFS was born. Dedicated to the promotion of all that is best in the Fantasy and Horror genres, the BFS is both influential and well respected among genre publishers in the UK and America and have many well known authors as members, not least our president Ramsey Campbell.
We celebrated our 30th anniversary in 2001 and in 2000 won the Special Award: Non-Professional at the World Fantasy Awards.
The BFS has enjoyed the patronage of many established authors, artists, critics and journalists. The BFS' own publications are regularly looked to by editors when selecting material for ‘Best Of’ anthologies and numerous members have gone on to become published authors in their own right.
