A Science Fiction Community for Readers and Writers

Get Flash

Science Fiction, Science Focused
Science Fiction with real science in it is more fun, more plausible, and challenges our beliefs about the future. We help science fiction authors improve their craft and give our readers access to Science Fiction authors they just can't get enough of! Novaminds is a safe haven for budding science fiction writers to simultaneously promote and improve their skills.

Our library contains stories we believe are ready for readership. Since this is not a self-publishing website, complete online novels are not found here except in the case of short stories. All readers can rate a story using Reader's Choice.

Novaminds Short Story Awards
Give it a shot! You never know, you just might just blow our minds. Submission deadline is May 1st, 2009. More details here.

Calling all Visual Artists:
What's a Science Fiction website without fantastic visual art to compliment the stories? We are looking for artwork related to Science Fiction, space travel, or futuristic visions in general. Accepted artists will appear in our gallery, and may be included in the partial story publication PDF files as "cover art" if chosen by an author. We will also provide a link to your artist site. You keep all rights to your work. To get things started, site creator Michael J. Penner has posted some work of his own. See the Submission page for submission details.
