Fantasy and Science Fiction - Writers' Guidelines. Writer's Guidelines • Fantasy & Science Fiction has no formula for fiction, but we like to be surprised by stories, either by the character insights, ideas, plots, or prose.
The speculative element may be slight, but it should be present. We prefer character-oriented stories, whether it's fantasy, science fiction, horror, humor, or another genre. F&SF encourages submissions from diverse voices and perspectives, and has published writers from all over the world. Do not query for fiction; submit the entire manuscript. . • We do not accept simultaneous submissions. . • We prefer not to see more than one submission from a writer at a time. Submissions - Swords and Sorcery Magazine. Swords and Sorcery is a monthly magazine devoted to traditional fantasy stories.
At this time we are seeking original short stories of 1,500 to 6,000 words length that feature fantasy elements and pre-industrial settings. Historical and pseudo-historical settings are fine provided they are set before the 19th century. We are not looking for contemporary urban fantasy or steampunk stories. We enjoy reading these when they are well written but there are plenty of markets for them. As our name implies we welcome stories with action and overt magic but neither is necessary to make a good fantasy story.In addition to publishing fantasy stories Swords and Sorcery Magazine hopes to function as a forum for criticism within the genre.

Ideomancer publishes speculative fiction and poetry that explores the edges of ideas; stories that subvert, refute and push the limits. We want unique pieces from authors willing to explore non-traditional narratives and take chances with tone, structure and execution, balance ideas and character, emotion and ruthlessness.
We also have an eye for more traditional tales told with excellence. We are especially interested in non-traditional formats, hyperfiction, and work that explores the boundaries not just of its situation but of the internet-as-page. We are also especially interested in diverse work and the work of diverse authors, and actively welcome submissions from writers of all racial or religious backgrounds, gender identities, national affiliations, and sexual orientations; from neuroatypical writers and writers with disabilities.

Submissions. Update: new higher word-count limit for submissions: 11,000 words. (Unlocked as a goal from the BCS 200th Issue Subscription Drive. Thank you!) Beneath Ceaseless Skies publishes “literary adventure fantasy”: stories with a secondary-world setting and some traditional or classic fantasy feel, but written with a literary approach.
Secondary-World Setting: We want stories set in what Tolkien called a “secondary world”: some other world that is different from our own primary world in some way. It could be different in terms of zoology (non-human creatures), ecology (climate), or physical laws (the presence of magic). The inhabitants of this secondary world should have developed their own culture in response to the uniqueness of their world. We are NOT interested in urban fantasy or other types of stories set in the “real world,” even if they contain fantasy elements, or in stories that move between the real world and a fantasy world.
