Ian Randal Strock began his career as the editorial assistant of the magazines Analog Science Fiction and Fact and Asimov's Science Fiction.[3] He founded SFScope in early 2007 to "deliver the news of the speculative fiction fields in a timely, accessible fashion."[3] While he is the site's publisher and primary editor,[1] writers Kit Hawkins, Michael A. Burstein, and Sarah Stegall also contribute columns.[2]

Strock has stated, "We shy away from the constant rumor updates about coming movies. There are so many other sites already covering that aspect of the field."[3]

gollark: Depends how incentivized you are, probably.
gollark: So it could.
gollark: It would be inaccurate. But it is not forbidden by physics.
