For the past 8 years NewCon Press has been showcasing the talent of British and British-based science fiction authors via our Best of British SF anthologies. The series is curated by editor Donna Scott, who each year faces the daunting task of selecting the very best short stories from what is invariably a strong field.
In 2024, Donna's fine work was recognised when Best of British SF 2022 won the inaugural BSFA Award for 'Best Collection'. The only way to follow such success is, of course, by ensuring the next volume in the series is at least as good, if not better.
