Career
He also edited Science Fantasy from the 1950s. After the magazines were sold to another publisher he left to launch the New Writings in Science Fiction anthology series, editing 21 issues until his death, after which the series was continued by Kenneth Bulmer for a further 9 issues. Taken together his publications played a role in starting the careers of Damien Broderick, Brian West. Aldiss, James White, J. G. Ballard, and his successor at New Worlds, Michael Moorcock.
Despite that list, Carnell tended to prefer adventure and Hard San Francisco to New Wave experimentation so John Christopher, Kenneth Bulmer, and East. C. Tubb were more typical of his tenure.
