Vector is the critical journal[1][2][3] (sometimes called a fanzine[4]) of the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA), established in 1958.

History[edit]

The first issue of Vector was published in 1958 under the editorship of E. C. Tubb.[3] The publication was established as an irregular newsletter for members of the BSFA, founded in the same year, but "almost at once it began to produce reviews and essays, polemics and musings, about the nature and state of science fiction."[5]

The publication has changed format and periodicity many times over the years.[6] Since 2018 it has been edited by Polina Levontin and Jo Lindsay Walton. It currently focuses on articles and interviews, and is published "two to three times per year."[2]
