What is NESFA?

NESFA, the New England Science Fiction Association, was founded in 1967 by fans who wanted to do things in addition to socializing. What we do has changed over time, most notably with the growth of NESFA Press, but the club is still organized on that principle. NESFA has nearly 400 members, mostly General members from all over the world. Anyone who's interested can join as a General member (dues are $24 per year); Voting Membership may be offered to members who demonstrate a willingness to help further the goals of NESFA.

In most months NESFA holds a Business Meeting online via Zoom (usually on the second Sunday of the month) and sometimes holds an "Other Meeting" in person for socializing; many active members also gather at our clubhouse nearly every Wednesday evening for work and socializing.

NESFA is one of the oldest SF clubs in the northeastern U.S., and has been a registered non-profit literary organization (under IRS section 501(c)(3)) since shortly after its founding.

An intro to many parts of NESFA is available in a How to Get Around NESFA document .
