Locus Online

Locus Online

Locus Online (founded in 1997) is the online component of Locus Magazine. It publishes news briefs related to the science fiction, fantasy and horror publishing world, along with original reviews and feature articles, and excerpts of articles that appeared in the print edition. Information for Locus Online is compiled and edited by Mark R. Kelly. In 2002, Locus Online won the first Hugo Award for Best Web Site. It was nominated again in 2005. Longtime short-fiction reviewer Lois Tilton quit Locus in January 2016. She stated that editors had deleted material from her reviews that they deemed inappropriate. Locus later clarified that the edits were not intended to be made to work already published, but rather going forward, to future reviews. None of her past columns were changed, she was paid for the unpublished work, and the relationship ended amicably.
