About us
Welcome to London Sci-Fi & Fantasy Authors— a home for writers and lovers of speculative fiction to connect, create, and achieve their literary goals. Founded in February 2025 by Ty Ogunade, the group was created to foster a supportive, down-to-earth community for authors of science fiction and fantasy who want to grow together and break through the barriers of an often gatekept industry.
Whether you're working on your first short story, a sprawling space opera, a fantasy epic, a game script, or your next published novel, this is a space to share your journey and learn from others. We welcome writers pursuing bothtraditional andself-publishing paths, united by a love of imaginative storytelling and a desire to uplift one another.
We host three events each month: two Writing Sessions, where members come together to focus on their work, and one Special Event such as a publishing Q&A, workshop, social, or open mic night.
Whether you’re working on your first draft or gearing up for publication, this group is for you!
