Q. What kinds of stories are you looking
for?
A. Mainly those of Science Fiction, but
this encompasses a huge variety of subgenres, included SF-horror, SF-mainstream,
etc.
Q. How much does an accepted submission
get paid.
A. Currently, and here's the sad part,
nothing. Other than the thrill of getting published in a semi-professional
magazine, there is no money involved in getting published in SFmm, but
this is true of many many small press magazine's in the marketplace today.
Until we get more popular and are able to sustain ourselves with advertisement
revenues from banner ads and the like, SFmm is running in the red.
Think of us as merely a stepping stone in your constantly improving writing
career. Everyone needs to start somewhere, and chances are you're
not going to be able to get published in the professional magazines for
many years.
Q. What are your writer's guidelines?
A. Our only guidelines, for the moment,
are your submissions must be original works (in that you're the
writer, and the story hasn't been published before.), and the story be
Science Fiction, or SF-related. [We do plan to expand
the magazine to other genres in the future.]
