Seeking Literary Outliers.
Before man could fly, some writer dreamed of it. In a time when midwives were burned as witches, space remained unexplored and fantasy was frowned upon, forward thinkers dared to have bigger thoughts and preserve them in ink. We seek those words.
Here at Space and Time we open our pages to those that can see beyond the horizons into our future. We welcome poetry, art and fiction that bend rules, transcend genre and break stereotypes. We accept the unacceptable—as long as it’s well written, submitted in standard electronic manuscript format and polished to a high gloss. We hope to find the unexpected. We have the space, and the time, to seek it.
Submissions accepted in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French or Italian.
Submissions are open January, 15-31 & July, 15-31 of each calendar year.
We seek: Broken boundaries, blown minds and new horizons. Science fiction, fantasy, horror, steampunk, magical realism—we look for work with a speculative element. Creative hybrids welcome. If you can combine horror, science fiction and fantasy into one compelling plot, you’ve caught our attention. If your story has the power to shake some perspectives, we are interested.
You send: We prefer stories up to 5,000 words but will consider a maximum word count of 10k submitted in standard Shunn electronic manuscript format. All fiction submissions are to be sent electronically. Please include complete contact details on the document. Simultaneous submissions welcome, just please notify us if your work was accepted elsewhere and withdraw your submission on Duotrope.
We pay: Payment of a penny-per-word is made via Paypal upon acceptance for fiction, plus a digital contributor copy. We buy first print, electronic and audio rights. After a work is published, rights immediately revert to the author.
All payments will be through PayPal. While other modes of payment can be considered for countries where PayPal does not operate, it is the entrants’ responsibility to check that there is a viable payment method from the United States to their country of residence.
