Science Fiction Gazette

The Science Fiction Gazette (later issues were hyphenated Science-Fiction, as SFA's punctuation also varied) was a newsletter published by the Science Fiction Association in the UK "for members only" in two series in 1937 and, after a year's pause, 1938–9. The editor or editors of the issues up to #6 are unknown and where copies exist nobody is credited although they were likely produced by the Leeds branch. The first in the new series was edited by G. Ken Chapman from London, the last by Eric C. Williams, with presumably one or the other doing the one in between. Some used the hyphenated form in the title.

There were two versions of #4, produced by the two rival factions of the Leeds group.
