WRITER’S GUIDELINES

F&SF has no formula for fiction and there is no special theme for this issue. The speculative element may be slight, but it should be present. I prefer character-oriented stories. F&SFreceives a lot of fantasy fiction, but never enough science fiction or humor.


For this submissions period, fiction can be up to 10,000 words in length. Stories should be attached as .doc or .rtf file. For a good article on standard manuscript preparation, see: www.sfwa.org/2008/11/manuscript-preparation/.

Payment is 7-12 cents per word on acceptance. F&SF buys first North American and foreign serial rights and an option on anthology rights. All other rights are retained by the author.

Please no simultaneous or multiple submissions.
