Sci-Fi magizines
« on: August 02, 2006, 07:19:53 AM »
Okay, I did a search online that came up with nada and zip all at the same time. I'm asking if anybody knows about sci-fi magazines that publish short stories and pay for it.

Thanks ;D

Next time, go to a book store. ;)  Not only will you see magazines that actually get rack time, but you can pick up an issue of each magazine to make sure your stuff "fits".

If it's science fiction you're trying to get published, the three that leap to mind immediately are Asimov's, Analog, and Fantasy & Science Fiction.  The latter does publish fantasy as well, but according to Gordon Van Gelder, the editor last time I looked, they get way more fantasy submissions than sci-fi and are always looking for more sci-fi stories.

A google search on science fiction magazine turned up all three in the first four positions on the search.  What on earth did you use for your search criteria?

I recently got word from Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine http://www.andromedaspaceways.com/index.htm that they’ve put a hold on a submission I sent to them. Basically means they’ll buy it if there’s room in one of their upcoming issues within the next three months. According to them it’s no small accomplishment...even though it doesn’t sound like much...I’s pretty proud.  ;D
They're a paying print mag out of Australia
