Though no particular setting, theme, or plot is anathema to us, the following are likely hard sells: Fiction Submissions Process Do NOT email or mail submissions. Our submissions form asks for your name, email address, cover letter, story title, word count, genre and story.

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. • Allow 8 weeks for a response. • Payment is 8-12 cents per word on acceptance. • Our columns and non-fiction articles are assigned in-house. • Since we use so little art—just six covers a year, no interiors—we have no separate artist's guidelines. • Send cartoon queries as well as orders for sample copies to Gordon Van Gelder, Fantasy & Science Fiction, P.O.
