About Further Light

Further Light: Science Fiction and Fantasy in the Latter-day Saint Tradition is a new magazine that seeks to explore the restored gospel through the medium of the human imagination. Our goal is to enjoy the fandoms we love, to experience new ones, and to expound on the eternal truths buried within them. We publish both fiction and nonfiction that helps readers connect to gospel principles through speculative fiction.

Further Light will publish online through Substack as well as in regular print issues, ebooks, and collected anthologies. Subscribe to receive updates about our publications.
