Washington Science Fiction Association

Washington, DC

The Washington Science Fiction Association (WSFA) is the oldest science fiction club in the Washington, D.C. area. Since 1960 it has met on the evenings of the first and third Fridays of each month in the homes of members. All meetings are open. On January 5, 1963, club members from Baltimore were trapped on a Trailways bus when returning to Baltimore after a WSFA meeting. The Baltimore Science Fiction Society was formed on the backseat of the bus.

Since 1965 WSFA has published the monthly WSFA Journal. WSFA Press has published the books: The Father of Stones by Lucius Shepard in 1989, Through Darkest Resnick With Gun and Camera by Mike Resnick in 1990, The Edges of Things by Lewis Shiner in 1991, Home By The Sea by Pat Cadigan in 1992, and Future Washington, an anthology edited by Ernest Lilley, in 2005,[5] Reincarnations by Harry Turtledove in 2009.
