For nearly 60 years Locus has been a must-read for everyone interested in science fiction, fantasy and horror—from libraries, booksellers, and industry professionals, to avid readers looking for their next favorite title.
So, whether you represent a globally-known imprint or work as an intrepid indie self-publisher, whether you provide services for authors or represent voracious book-buyers, we have promotional options that can help you spotlight your latest titles and get your products in front of our readership.
FRAUD ALERT: Information from Locus Magazine is being used in phishing attempts directed at book authors. Authentic communications from Locus will come from ***@locusmag.com or locusmag@gmail.com.
We do not charge for reviews and never have. We do have several offers, including Spotlights, available for promotional purposes, which can be seen here, but again, any emails should be directly from us.
If you have any questions about the validity of any emails that come from Locus, write us directly at locus@locusmag.com. Be safe out there!
