If you encounter any problems with any of the payment methods below, please contact the Treasurer, Dr. Laura E. Ludtke.
You can join BSLS or renew your membership in three ways:
- By cheque. Please contact the Treasurer (Dr. Laura E. Ludtke) for the postal address. Cheques can be made payable to the British Society for Literature and Science. If you are a postgraduate or otherwise not in full-time employment, you will need to enclose a statement along with your cheque, that you are eligible for reduced rate membership. Please include your email address if you would like acknowledgement of receipt of your cheque.
- By bank transfer. You can make a one-off payment or establish a standing order. You will need a UK bank account. If you would like to pay this way, please contact the Treasurer for our account details.
- By PayPal. When paying this way, there is an additional charge of £1.00, to cover some of PayPal’s fees.
We have had one report of a user being returned to the “Payment Cancelled” page when they had clicked “Return to Shop”: if anything similar happens, do let Laura Ludtke know on bsls.treasurer[at]gmail.com

Important: when you pay, please also email your details to our Membership Secretary, Louise Benson James, to ensure you receive the full benefits. Please include:
- your prefix/title; first name; last name;
- position;
- university/institutional affiliation;
- email;
- and a 30-word summary of your key research interests. (This summary will be viewable by other members but, rather than listing publications, should inform as to your central areas of focus).
- Please also confirm whether you would like to review publications relevant to your research, for the BSLS website.
Please note that membership runs January – December of each year, NOT a year after the date you join. There is a grace period to join or renew up until the BSLS Conference in April, as many members pay their membership alongside the conference fee. If you wish to attend the conference and remain a member for the calendar year following the conference, please pay within the January-April window.
Standing Order
Please contact the Treasurer if you wish to establish a standing order, for details of our sort code, account number, and how to identify the payment as yours.
