Best of British Science Fiction 2020 is now open to submissions.

Series editor Donna Scott is seeking the very best short stories written by British authors that were first published during 2020. For our purposes, ‘British’ means authors who are resident in the UK or British ex-pats who currently live elsewhere.

Please bear in mind that this is a reprint market and we are not interested in original stories in this instance; nor do we wish to see self-published stories. Also, we are looking specifically for Science Fiction with this one; fantasy and other flavours of genre will not be considered.

There is no specific limit on a story’s length, though anything over 10,000 words will be a tough sell.

This is a paying market, with successful authors receiving payment of 1p a word up to a maximum of £50.00 plus a contributor’s copy of each edition of the book.

Submissions will close on February 14th 2021.

Submissions should be sent to:

Send us your very best.

We look forward to seeing your work, and Good Luck!
