Infinity Wanderers Magazine

History, Science Fiction, & Alternate History


Infinity Wanderers is a new magazine dedicated to promoting alternate history and the associated genres of Science Fiction, Steampunk, Historical Fiction and Fantasy. In addition we aim for between 1/3 and 1/2 real history and writers of Historical features are welcome to submit.


Whilst considered part of the Scimitar Edge stable, Infinity Wanderers goes out under the self-publishing 'Selornia' marque as a magazine, and not a book.


Please send submissions to editor@scimitaredge.com.
Issue 10 of Infinity Wanderers has been published in June 2024.

Cover Artists

Scimitar Edge and Purple Unicorn Media


Various cover artists have been used for books published by Purple Unicorn and Scimitar Edge, and several of them are featured here. Where those artists also did artwork for books by a demised imprint, those books or magazines will also be featured on their page.


We have grouped all of the cover artists here, under one heading, whether their work has been published by Purple Unicorn Media, Scimitar Edge, or the now demised Dancing Unicorn marque.
