Shoreline Of Infinity

Shoreline of Infinity - reality with a twist of lemon. Why Shoreline of Infinity? Because that’s where we are. And we don’t know what to do. Help is at hand.

Humankind has trampled our way across the lands, and now we are mooching about on the sands, squinting out across the Ocean of Infinity before us. Science Fiction has always asked the big questions, more so than any genre of literature. Where have we come from? Where are we going? Where do we want to be? What’s going to happen? How will we cope? What’s the story? And that’s why Shoreline of Infini

ty. We want stories that explore that uncertain future. We want to play around with the big ideas and the little ones. We want writers to tell us stories to inspire us, give us hope, and provide some laughs. Or to scare the stuffing out of us. We want good stories; we want to be entertained, here on the Shoreline. We want to read how people cope in our exotic new world, we want to be in their minds, in their bodies, in their souls.

Saturday and Sunday were fun days Cymera Festival where we got to meet our amazing readers in the flesh!

Not only where we able to break our sales record, but we were able to publicise our new Kickstarter, launch SF Caledonia, and highlight our newest anthology ‘Once Upon a Biofuture.’ A great success!

had a fantastic weekend at this year's 2023 Cymera Festival! 😍

We had a lot going on, but our first event was on Saturday, when we launched our newest publication, the 'Once Upon a Biofuture' anthology. The event was introduced by our founder Noel Chidwick, and the discussion was led by three authors within the anthology: Jessica Fox, Pippa Goldsmidt and Gaynor Campbell. 📚

Once Upon a Biofuture: Tales for a New Millennium is an anthology of stories, from fiction to memoir, written by scientists and authors about a powerful new technology that is re-engineering our world: synthetic biology. 🧬

The authors, an international group of scientists, are based at the University of Edinburgh – alma mater of Darwin and home of Dolly the Sheep. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The book was launched by the editor Jessica Fox, the former storyteller for NASA and artist-in-residence at the UK Centre for Mammalian Synthetic Biology in Edinburgh. Jessica worked with the scientists to lead the storytelling and retain their creative voice.

She was joined by contributors Pippa Goldschmidt and Dr Gaynor Campbell. Many of the stories are biographical, offering insight into how scientists become scientists, or taking us to new imaginative worlds. Once Upon a Biofuture is a captivating mix of biology, philosophy and mythology while, in classic anthology tradition, still being connected to a common theme: the very human lessons we learn through the maze-like quest of modern scientific exploration.

The news was announced at Cymera Festival last night, but for those who missed it: I've stepped down as deputy editor, poetry editor & events manager at Shoreline Of Infinity to focus on my own writing & make way for a new wave of science fiction in Scotland. To the shoreline team, our writers and artists, readers and audiences involved over the last 8 years, I say: so long, and thanks for all the fish. - Russel Jones

🚨🌎 Our Climate Change Issue ( ) is live TODAY! 🌎🚨

Fiction is a powerful tool for connecting us with potential visions for change. So for our Special Climate Change Issue, we will be publishing work that reflects on climate change and its impacts while raising awareness, inspiring action, promoting justice and system change, and putting forward well-thought-out and executed solutions to climate change. 💪

This issue will include flash fiction, short stories, reviews, interviews, poetry, and non-fiction, from newer to more established authors like climate-fiction great Kim Stanley Robinson. All original fiction will come from our open call which we are currently reading and selecting stories from.

This issue will be Guest-Edited by Lyndsey Croal, who as well as being an author and occasional Editor, also works in climate change policy and advocacy in her day job.

You can read our submission call from earlier in the year here to find out about the kind of stories we will be hoping to publish.
