Speculatief Magazine

I founded Speculatief in 2022. 

As a big fan of speculative (short) fiction and poetry, I was appalled at the state of the industry in the Dutch-speaking part of the world. Very little short stories get translated anymore, even award-winning ones. Speculative poetry is even worse- it’s not even that popular in the States, so of course it’s a complete unknown in Belgium and the Netherlands.

I founded Speculatief with the goal to spread the love for current-day speculative fiction and poetry. It’s a completely self-funded four-monthly magazine of (mostly) the best of contemporary speculative fiction and poetry.
