SFScope is an online trade journal [1] devoted to entertainment news concerning speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. [2] It was founded by Ian Randal Strock in early 2007.

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]
