Call for Submissions for Summer Issue: SciFi Fantasy Woman (print magazine | paying market)

Post date: 09 June 2012
A new magazine for women who love to read and write science fiction and fantasy is seeking submissions of book excerpts, short stories, poetry, and artwork.

This is for a print only magazine.

We do not publish materials online; everything will be exclusively in print format. We do not accept simultaneous submissions due to our fast response time of 2-4 weeks. If you do submit your work elsewhere, please know that we will be unable to consider it for publication. Upon publication, you will receive a contributor's copy and a flat fee payment of $10.

Submission Guidelines: Works may be any length, though we prefer it not to exceed 3,000 words. Book excerpts are acceptable (please be sure the excerpt you submit can serve as a stand alone piece) and may be longer than the 3,000 suggested word length for stories. We accept multiple submissions per individual, but each submission must be included in a separate e-mail. As a new publication, we are willing to consider all works in the science fiction and fantasy genres. We prefer works either written by female authors or with a heavy female influence within the story itself.

Be sure to proofread all submissions. We cannot edit any work for grammatical or spelling mistakes and will automatically reject anything that contains frequent errors.

We accept submissions year round. Currently we are seeking submissions specifically for our summer issue (due out in August) and our fall issue (due out in October).

To submit a piece for consideration, please respond to this posting with your submission (a query letter is unnecessary). A contract must be reviewed and accepted prior to publication. Payment is made upon publication and is mailed out along with your magazine copy.

For any additional questions, please also respond to this posting. Questions and concerns are responded to promptly, within 2-7 days.

If you would like to purchase our first issue, it is currently available here.

SPECIAL: The next two authors or artists accepted for publication will also receive our first issue in addition to their regular payment and contributor's copy as an extra bonus.
