Theme: fantasy and science fiction short stories
Note: Reprints Welcome
Etherea is seeking fantasy and science fiction short stories. We are not too interested in horror or grimdark, however every submission is read and considered on its merits. Fan fiction will not be accepted.
Please ensure that you proofread your submission. A story riddled with spelling mistakes will be discarded.
We will endeavour to respond to every submission within an acceptable time, however, some things do fall through the cracks. If you have not had a response in two months since submitting, please feel free to contact us. We will not be responding to questions about rejected submissions.
Upon acceptance of a submission, we purchase the First Publication Rights, and non-exclusive rights to include the story in anthology.
Etherea Magazine is an Australian publication, so payment will be made in Australian dollars, via Paypal. As such, submissions will need to be made by those 18 years and older. We are looking for stories of length between 2000 and 5000 words, but longer will be accepted. We pay a flat rate of A$100 per original, unpublished story.
We are also looking for flash fiction, from 500 to 1000 words. A flat rate of A$25 will be paid per story. Horror may be accepted in this section, however must have an element of the supernatural.
We also accept reprints, however this must be indicated in the submission. Proof that exclusivity limits have lapsed will be required. Reprints must be between 2000 and 5000 words, and will be paid at a flat rate of $25 per story.
Regardless of whether you receive an acceptance or rejection, please wait 21 days before submitting another story.
We are open to receiving serials, however they must be in a complete condition at time of submission. I’ll be honest, acceptance chances are slim.
