Asimov's Science Fiction is an American science fiction magazine which publishes science fiction and fantasy named after science fiction author Isaac Asimov. It is currently published by Penny Publications. From January 2017, the publication frequency is bimonthly (six issues per year). In February 1976, Isaac Asimov visited the offices of Davis Publications to drop off a story he was submitting to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. Joel Davis, the publisher, had recently acquired Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and was interested in adding new fiction magazines to his list. One of his employees had told him how much their children had enjoyed a Star Trek convention they'd attended, so Davis took the opportunity to talk to Asimov about a new science fiction (sf) title. Davis wanted to use Asimov's name as part of the magazine's title. Asimov was concerned about the potential impact on the two of the major sf magazines of the day, Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (F&SF), both of which were edited by friends of his, Ben Bova and Ed Ferman. Davis argued that a new magazine would be good for the field, and Bova and Ferman both told Asimov that they agreed with Davis. Asimov agreed to go ahead with the plan on condition that he did not act as editor. Asimov wrote a regular science column for F&SF, which he continued, but Davis asked him not to submit fiction to any other magazines. More information...
