Blog
Pulp magazines
I am working on this page. It will probably look messy. Contributions welcome.
In this page, I would like to go back to the roots of Isaac Asimov's career as a writer. I am afraid this is going to be huge, but I want to make a start and gradually try to complete this page.
In the first section, I list magazine contributions by Asimov sorted by magazine and in chronological order. In the second section, I will work through the novels and list which novel was published where first. If I manage to get through all that, I will start with the essays, which will get a huge list.
Any comments / help welcome, as always!
