On Spec Magazine

Established in 1989, On Spec is an Edmonton-based magazine, specializing in the publication of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy and horror stories). The publication was conceptualized by a small group of Edmonton writers who desired to contribute to the speculative fiction community.

Summer 2002 IssueInitially, the magazine sought to publish mostly Canadian work, but has since expanded its guidelines to include writing from authors all over the world. Material found within On Spec includes original and unpublished speculative fiction and poetry. While the focus remains on publishing short stories and poetry, relevant artwork, commissioned non-fiction articles and reviews are sometimes run.

The success of On Spec is due in large part to the commitment of the writers and editorial staff. Diane Walton, Jena Snyder and Barry Hammond are founders of the magazine who remain incredibly involved with the publication. In addition, dedicated volunteers assist in the operation of the magazine and funding is provided by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Also contributing to the success of the magazine are many loyal subscribers who request the magazine year after year.
