Science Fiction Digest, March 1933 This issue features editorial discussion on expanding coverage to include weird fiction magazines alongside science fiction, a debate initiated by contributing editors. David H. Keller, M.D., contributes an essay on science fiction's proper scope, arguing that the genre should emphasize psychological and social responses to technological innovation rather than mere space travel or monsters—citing his own stories featuring domestic scenarios like robotic baby care. A profile of Farnsworth Wright, longtime editor of *Weird Tales*, details his career from amateur press work through his editorship since 1924, including his role in discovering Hamilton, Smith, Burks, and other notable authors. Wright has published over 1,000 stories at *Weird Tales*, with roughly 2% acceptance rate. The issue concludes with notification that *Astounding Stories* ceases publication after January.
