Sign up for PSFS announcements
Welcome to the website for PSFS, the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society!
We are a membership-based organization of science fiction and fantasy fans based in Philadelphia, PA. PSFS had its first meeting in 1936, making us one of the oldest science fiction groups in the world. We are open to anyone interested in science fiction, fantasy, or horror, in all media from the written word to movies, TV, comics, games and gaming, and visual art.
Our next meeting will be Friday, September 13 at 8 pm. This virtual meeting will feature award-winning author Rosemary Claire Smith as our guest speaker.
Rosemary Claire Smith is the 2023 winner of the Sidewise Award for Alternate History for “Apollo in Retrograde.” She’s been nominated three times for Analog Magazine’s readers’ award for “Diamond Jim and the Dinosaurs,” “The Next Frontier,” and “Apollo in Retrograde.” Her book review columns appear in every other issue of Analog Magazine. Somehow, her alternate histories, future romances, time-travel tales, reworked mythologies, horror stories, and essays have snuck onto the pages of Amazing Stories, Fantastic Stories, The Reinvented Heart, The Reinvented Detective, and other periodicals and anthologies. Rosemary’s stories draw upon her fascination with dinosaurs, her experiences as a field archaeologist excavating prehistoric sites around the United States and visiting sites in other countries. Her RPG, T-Rex Time Machine is available from Choice of Games. Follow her on social media @RCWordsmith and RCWordsmith.com to find out what she’s writing now, and her thoughts about recent dinosaur discoveries.
