Taking Submissions: Signal Horizon
Deadline: August 21st, 2019 Payment: .03 cents a word for work up to 3000 words Signal Horizon is a horror and science fiction media conglomerate. We’re looking for horror: or science fiction with a dark or weird edge. We are not interested in parsing through what exactly that means we are very open to whatever. If your story uses older horror tropes or concepts our expectation is that you will offer a unique perspective on them. We want something different. There is a audio aspect to what we publish so authors should pay close attention to what your story sounds like. Black comedy is fun. We are down for that. However it's difficult to be funny. Be aware. If you offer smart and nuanced takes chances are you will appeal to us much more. Bring us your literary horror works, and we will read them. We also want to read the wide range and diverse members of the horror world. Women, people of color, and LGBTQ authors are particularly welcome. The Submission window for the rest of 2019 will open June 4 and will stay open until August 21, 2019.
