About

We began publishing Theaker's Quarterly Fiction in 2004, and each year we try to make it a bit better. Its frequency has ranged from quarterly to bi-monthly and back to quarterly. The format was at first an A4 magazine, and it's now a 6x9" paperback, although the ebook versions are much more popular. In recent years the review section of the magazine has become increasingly important, giving rise to this blog.

There's a full index of the magazine on the ISFDB and an entry in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.

"We" are Stephen Theaker and John Greenwood, friends since school. If you want to get in touch, drop us a line via theakers@silveragebooks.com.

We'd like to publish more books, but don't really have the time. If you would like a review copy of any of the books we have published, please email and we'll send one.

You can follow Stephen here on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/Rolnikov.

We have a Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Theakers-Quarterly-Paperbacks/105544849914, although we don't use it much.

Eagle-eyed readers may notice an anomaly on the blog: we started it in May 2010, but there are blog posts dating back much earlier. This is because we've backdated those reviews to the publication date of the issue in which they originally appeared.

Our original, famously yellow Silver Age Books website is over here.
