Founded in 1971, meeting monthly and still going strong, the B.S.F.G. is a non-profit-making organisation that provides an informal atmosphere in which SF fans can meet one another and professionals in the field. You can find out more about us elsewhere on this website, meanwhile here are some details of our future meetings.

Fiona Moore
Our guest for May is Dr Fiona Moore. Fiona is a Canadian anthropologist and award-winning writer. She has written novels, short fiction, guidebooks to SF television series, plays and audio dramas. She is a winner of the BSFA Award and a World Fantasy Award finalist. Her work has appeared in Clarkesworld, Asimov, Interzone, and six consecutive editions of The Best of British SF. Her most recent fiction is the short story collection Human Resources (2024, NewCon Press) and her most recent non-fiction is the book Management Lessons from Game of Thrones (2022). Her publications include the novel Driving Ambition; five cult TV guidebooks; three stage plays and four audio plays. She lives in Southwest England with a tortoiseshell cat which is bent on world domination.
Fiona's new novel, Rabbit in the Moon, is forthcoming from Epic Publishing. Ken Usagi, a journalist in a North America ravaged by war and climate change, takes a journey south to investigate the source of strange biotechnological artefacts, while Totchli, a biotechnician from a Mesoamerican civilisation, travels north to investigate the disappearance of a colonial expedition. As the two journeys converge, the connections become stranger and the outcome, for both civilisations, more and more uncertain. Can either world be saved?
This event will be held in-person at the Friends of the Earth Warehouse, Birmingham, the new venue which we first used for our AGM earlier this year.
