Speculative fiction:

A type of story set in a world that is different from the one we live in.

Insight:

To have a clear, deep, understanding of a complicated problem or situation.

speculative insight:

A journal that explores the breadth and depth of the themes, ideas, and issues of science fiction and fantasy.

Speculative Insight is the brainchild of Alexandra Pierce. As a lifelong lover of science fiction and fantasy, as well as being passionate about history and science, creating a space for SFF-related nonfiction just made sense.

Alexandra co-edited the award-winning anthologies Letters to Tiptree and Luminescent Threads: Connections to Octavia E. Butler (both for Twelfth Planet Press). She was a co-host of the podcast Galactic Suburbia with Alisa Krasnostein and Tansy Rayner Roberts; it ran for a decade and won the 2015 Hugo Award for Best Fancast.
