		Once again editor Donna Scott has scoured magazines, anthologies, webzines and obscure genre corners to discover the very best science fiction stories by British and British-based authors published during 2021. Two dozen stories, varying greatly in subject matter and style, from superb technological mystery to conflict on very alien worlds, from sweet, sad stories symptomatic of the tense times we have lived through to tales optimistic for better times to come, and even a dash of wry humour here and there for good measure. Donna Scott is a director and recent chair of the BSFA, as well as being a distinguished poet, writer, and stand-up comedian. Donna is also a free-lance editor who has worked behind the scenes for a number of major publishers over the course of several years. “The Best Of British Science Fiction 2021 is a book for intelligent, literary readers who want new ideas relayed through interesting characters via polished prose.” – Sfcrowsnest  “Donna Scott delivers a bundle of exceptional British science fiction in this pandemic-influenced collection This carefully curated collection will gift you with many moments of wonder, awe and bliss.” – Aurealis “Loved every story in this collection!
