A list of potential homes for speculative short fiction. This is a working list. I started it so I would have some structure to my subs but thought it might be helpful for others, so have started adding pubs even when they are not suitable for me or my work.

No problem Kate. No point my compiling a list and not giving others the benefit of it. And given my patchy record with subs I’m glad if anyone uses it. It needs a bit of updating, mind
Also, entropy magazine takes eclectic stuff, and very usefully keeps a ‘where to submit’ page for all formats of writing. They update it every 3 months I think.
Albedo 1 might be worth a look for fantasy, SF and horror. They have four submission windows per year (next on is July) and pay 6 euro per 1000 words.
Though they’re not currently accepting submissions, Shoreline of Infinity (mainly SF) magazine and Luna Press (SF, fantsy and dark fantasy) are worth keeping in mind.
Interzone magazine for SF and fantasy, open for submissions of up to 10,000 words. The publisher, TTA Press also do Black Static magazine (horror) and Crimewave magazine, your guess is as good as mine on subject matter :).

Thanks for putting up the list Daeds. I’ve a hankering for doing some short work again, as I’ve done nowt since the Room With a View comp and always good to have some new places to submit to.
