Climate change is not fiction, but some of today’s
most compelling writing about it is.
“Cli-fi” was coined by former journalist and English teacher
Dan Bloom in the mid-2000s for fiction that

Comment after article
''And the next 100 years will see more and more cli-fi novels, in many languages, from many countries. I coined the term as a platform for writers, critics, publishers, acquiring editors and agents.

Bravo to Lit Hub for standing up for cli-fi novelists working the genre today (and tomorrow, into the 22nd and 23rd centuries).'' - Dan Bloom, editor, The Cli-Fi Report
