Wasn’t expecting that:
Michael Moorcock's New Worlds Magazine

The Directors of the Daves Dream Company - Dick Jude, David Hodson, David Tamlyn, Roger Gray and Felix Jude-West - have reached an agreement with Michael Moorcock to revive the seminal science fiction magazine New Worlds. Michael has kindly agreed to lend his name to the masthead of the magazine and to contribute editorial pieces. The magazine will appear in both electronic and traditional print on paper formats and be backed up by an extensive website that will feature exclusive editorial features free to all interested readers.

For anyone who’s missed my many and various rambles on the subject: NEW WORLDS, in the late 60s, was the most groundbreaking sf magazine of the last half of the 20th Century, if not one of the most groundbreaking magazines of any kind in the way it reshaped fiction and captured invention in the culture at large.

Taking the ... "Mission statement:"

Michael Moorcock’s New Worlds magazine is a dual on-line and paper re-launch of the prestigious publication that defined a generation of a genre. Taking the cutting edge ethos of the magazine in its heyday as a starting point, Michael Moorcock’s New Worlds intends to push the boundaries of speculative and innovative fiction, non-fiction, art and multi-media into exciting new areas whilst keeping alive the voices and images that helped shape the face of the modern world.

Choosing to present the re-launched magazine in both an online and print format will allow an unprecedented variety of forms and formats to be showcased, with an extensive archive section, free online content and a printed version of new works by the very best in their fields. The dual format also expresses a central vision of the magazine, that a synthesis of art and word, music and image should be cultivated as a fermenting ground for new expressions of the forms!

Michael Moorcock’s New Worlds will be an exciting, exhilarating project to be involved in and will hopefully prove to be as an exciting and exhilarating publication to dip into, subscribe to and contribute to. Launching in late summer we hope to ruffle some feathers, spark some debate but above all entertain! Bring it on.
