History
Established in June 1997 by John O'Neill and Rodger Turner, SF Site was an online magazine of science fiction and fantasy. It was based in Ottawa, Canada, but included contributors from around the world, and had 200,000 unique visitors per month in 2001.
Its news blog was placed on hiatus in 2018. Zachary Houle wrote in the Ottawa Citizen in 2001, "Over four short years, [SF Site] has become a big player in broadening the appeal of speculative fiction—the SF referred to in its name" and said, "the site is also highly regarded by the major publishing houses, which generously lift quotes from the site's reviews for book-cover blurbs".
SF Site won the 2002 Locus Award for Best Website, and was a nominee for the 2002 Hugo Award in the same category.
