Star Trek: The New Voyages (May 1976) is an anthology of short fiction based on Star Trek, edited by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath. Although published professionally, the collected stories were written and submitted by fans. Many of the stories were previously published in fanzines, or collected in fan-published anthologies. The New Voyages was commissioned by Frederik Pohl following his acquisition of Star Trek Lives!, which featured essays on the growing Star Trek fandom, and a chapter on Star Trek fan fiction.[1][2]:13

From 1976 to 1996, The New Voyages was reprinted twenty times. The final printing by Bantam Spectra, in 1996, featured new cover art by Kazuhiko Sano.[3]

Marshak and Culbreath continued collecting stories for future volumes following publication of the anthology. The "Acknowledgments" page listed an address where manuscript submissions, and feedback, could be delivered.[4]

The New Voyages was followed Star Trek: The New Voyages 2 in 1978.
