New Writings in SF

New Writings in SF was a series of thirty British science fiction original anthologies published from 1964 to 1977 under the successive editorships of John Carnell from 1964 to 1972 (the last volume with the aid of Diane Lloyd) and Kenneth Bulmer from 1973 to 1977.

[2] The popularity of New Writings crossed the Atlantic, and several US original anthology series publications emerged, including Orbit, Nova, and Universe.

However, overexpansion of the original anthologies field attributed by some to one particular editor, who was unable to fulfill a significant proportion of the volumes he signed contracts for with various U.S. publishers, resulted in the sub-genre ending up a fad, lacking overall the distribution and sales of the better-established series and magazines.

New Writings in SF can be seen as a continuation of his work on those magazines, his more conservative choices contrasting with the more radical direction that New Worlds in particular followed in subsequent years.
