The Sengkang Sci-Fi Quarterly is a Singapore-based journal dedicated to platforming bold speculative fiction and adjacent genre stories. The name and style harken back to the golden age of sci-fi where short fiction pioneered the art of creating narratives within imagined futures. We want to return to the genre's roots by supporting short stories that push the limits of human imagination using the frame of technology to entertain and examine. We are especially interested in platforming voices from the global south and other neglected perspectives.
