About the product

Starbright is Illumicrate’s new quarterly book-only science fiction subscription, launched in 2025. As a company we’ve always been big fans of science fiction, having included many in our Illumicrate monthly subscription over the years, and we’re thrilled to give the genre space to shine with a dedicated sci-fi subscription!

Starbright subscription boxes feature newly released science fiction titles with exclusive customisations. The subscription is be priced at £20 + shipping and VAT (where applicable). The subscription is quarterly (February, May, August and November) and shipping worldwide from our UK fulfilment centre. We expect to start shipping this also from our US fulfilment centre in 2026!

We include books from across the broad range the science fiction genre has to offer, from the accessible to the truly ambitious, reflective of our own broad taste in science fiction. Some of our favourites that reflect the types of books you’ll see in Starbright include: A Memory Called Empire, Ancillary Justice, The Fifth Season, Wayfarers, Gideon the Ninth, Iron Widow, The Space Between Worlds, Some Desperate Glory, The Murderbot Diaries, Winter’s Orbit, The Seep, Monk & Robot, This Is How You Lose the Time War, Crownchasers, The First Sister, and Project Hail Mary.
