Taking Submissions: New Myths Second 2022 Window

July 31, 2022

Deadline: July 31st, 2022
Payment: 1.5 cents/word with a minimum payment of $30 for all submissions. Book reviews for $30. Art for $60.
Theme: Science Fiction and Fantasy

Reading past issues is the best way to know if your submission is a good fit for NewMyths.com.

We like to balance each quarterly issue between science fiction and fantasy, dark and light, serious and humorous, hard and soft science fiction, and longer and shorter works.
Our readers are not fixated on a single style or tone or genre, but prefer a
quality sample of the field. Think tapas or dim sum.

Submission Period

New Myths considers submissions between January 1-February 28 and June 1-July 31.

Artwork, requests for book reviews, and other correspondence can be submitted at any time.

Payment

Payment is upon publication. NewMyths.com currently pays 1.5 cents/word with a minimum payment of $30 for all submissions, fiction, flash fiction, nonfiction and poetry. We purchase book reviews for $30. We purchase art for $60.

Rights

NewMyths.com acquires first publication rights only (we are not interested in stories that have already been published elsewhere). Authors retain their copyright on all works after first publication on the NewMyths.com website. By submitting content to NewMyths.com you agree that, should the content be accepted, you grant NewMyths.com a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to digitally archive and display the content (aka Digital Archive Rights). In the case that we later desire to include your content in any other format (e.g. print, anthology, etc.), those rights will be separately negotiated at that time. Simultaneous Submissions: No problem. We ask that you please indicate in your submission that your story is a simultaneous submission, and notify us as soon as possible if it has been accepted by another publication.

Response

Responses to your submissions may take as long as six months. Feel free to send a follow-up email query if you have not received a reply before the next submission period.
