Deadline: February 28th, 2025
Payment: Fiction/Non-Fiction: £0.01 per word, $85 for original covers and $15 per illustration
Theme: Science Fiction and Fantasy

We are open for short story submissions.
We’re open for non-fiction and artwork queries.

Our submission window will remain open at least until the end of February 2025. We may be open longer.

Short Fiction

We’re looking for stories for our July issue and for the website. Up to 6,000 words, science fiction and fantasy for publication in Wyldblood Magazine and/or online. Submit via email [email protected] (SUB – name – title on subject line) with a Word/RTF file and a short bio. £0.01 per word. Sim subs okay, but no reprints (except by invitation) and definitely no AI content. Name and contact details on the manuscript.

Non-fiction

Query us with ideas for articles, reviews and interviews at [email protected]. Don’t send the text – we’ll ask for it if we think it might be suitable. If we buy, it’ll be at our short fiction rate of $0.01 per word. Put ‘QUERY‘ in your email’s subject line, please, otherwise we may miss it.

Artwork

We need covers and interior illustations for Wyldblood Magazine (one per story). We pay $85 for original covers and $15 per illustration. Query us with samples at [email protected]

We are a speculative fiction publisher. Interpret that as you will when deciding what to submit, but bear in mind that we are unlikely to publish fiction without a speculative element (science fiction or fantasy) and we’re not keen on horror, humour or high fantasy. We pay for fiction.

Response times

We aim to respond to all short fiction submissions within 3 months (hopefully much quicker). If we miss that deadline, please assume it’s a ‘no’ and accept our apologies for being slow. We’re still holding some longer fiction submissions (please bear with us).
