Canopus Anthology

100 Year Starship Canopus Award Anthology

The 100 Year Starship Canopus Award Anthology celebrates excellence in interstellar writing, bringing together speculative fiction that asks the fundamental question: "What if?" As editor, layout artist, designer, and internal illustrator for this collection co-edited with Dr. Mae Jemison—former astronaut, engineer, and physician—I crafted a visual and editorial experience that bridges literary imagination with scientific aspiration. From curating stories that explore humanity's journey beyond our solar system to designing the book's striking aesthetic and creating evocative interior artwork, every element was shaped to inspire scientists, engineers, artists, and cultural icons toward discovery and innovation. The anthology embodies the 100 Year Starship initiative's mission to integrate artistic expression with the ambitious goal of interstellar travel, recognizing that such a grand challenge requires the full scope of human creativity and imagination. Available through Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Amazon.
