Ongoing Submissions: Interzone

Payment: (EUR) 1.5¢ per word (one and one-half euro cents) Theme: Fantastika (“the fantastic in literature as a whole, encompassing science fiction, Fantasy, fantastic horror and their various subgenres (see also Gothic SF; Horror in SF; SF Megatext), but not Proto SF. It is a concept normally restricted to narratives.”) Hello. First of all, —Interzone is always open to unsolicited submissions of fantastika of between 2,000 and 17,500 words from everyone, whoever or wherever you are. If you aren’t sure what is included under the umbrella of fantastika, check out the fabulous entry in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. I want to read stories that tell of change and transformation; stories that describe the boundlessness of the human soul. I want to see writers experiment and take risks with stories that wend their way through the labyrinth of this world, and with stories that string bridges of their own creation to places I have never seen. Submit stories that rend the heart, shock the brain, and leave the world a different place. I strongly recommend that you get to know Interzone before submitting. Subscriptions are available and there is also an Interzone Patreon. If you are unable to buy Interzone, but would like to review the stories Interzone has published, please email editors [at] interzone [dot] press and I will point you in the right direction. I am looking for original, unpublished stories. Please don’t query about reprints (but see below about translated works). I accept simultaneous submissions. I don’t accept multiple submissions. Translations are accepted, even if the story has been published previously in a language other than English – please include the name of the translator. I don’t want to read stories that incorporate any amount of ‘writing’ generated by ‘AI’ tools like ChatGPT or Story Engine. I want to read words distilled from the fermented juices of your imagination. If you receive a rejection from me, please wait two months before submitting again....
