Celebrating Aurealis #100 in print!

What better way to celebrate our hundredth issue of Aurealis – Australian Fantasy & Science Fiction than to publish Aurealis #100  as a limited edition print issue (in addition to the usual digital version). Aurealis #100 will be much bigger than our normal issue, with eight stories, three articles, plus book reviews. In fact, it will be our biggest ever single issue.

We decided to go back to everyone that was still contactable who appeared in Aurealis #1 in 1990 and ask them for a story for this hundredth issue.  Plus there are some surprises. Here's the Contents list:From the Cloud 1 — Dirk StrasserFrom the Cloud 2 — Stephen HigginsFrom the Cloud 3 — Michael PryorThe Cavity -- David TanseyShimmerflowers -- Michael PryorThe Mandelbrot Bet -- Dirk StrasserThe Bewitching of Dr Travidian -- Geoffrey MaloneyThe Madlock Chair -- Terry DowlingAll We Have is Us -- Alex IsleForest/Trees -- Stephen HigginsMayfire -- Rebecca BirchThe History and Future of Aurealis: An Interview with Dirk Strasser — Chris LargeRobotics, AI and the Impending Techno-Apocalypse — Terry WoodSecret History of Australia--Archibald Cistoon—Researched by Michael PryorReviews
Aurealis #100 will be launched at the Science for Science Fiction conference (Sunday 30 April 2017 8:30 am – 5:00 pm at 8 La Trobe Street Melbourne) which The Royal Society of Victoria is running in partnership with Aurealis magazine (and supported by the Emerging Writer's Festival). It’s a conference for new and established authors of science fiction where you can learn valuable writing techniques and draw inspiration from real scientists such as Dr Alan Duffy, regular guest on  The Project  who was named as one of Australia's Science Superheroes by the Australia’s Chief Scientist. ​ All those attending will get a free print copy of Aurealis #100. For those of you who want to make sure you get a copy of the limited print run, you can order Aurealis #100 now, and have it mailed to you at the end of May.
