Deadline: October 25th, 2019 Payment: $0.0125 per word Look, we know that these guidelines are bit long, but we strongly recommend you read them all the way through. Submissions are open: Oct 14th-25, 2019. What are you looking for? Original short stories between 2000-7500 words. Cirsova pays $0.0125 per word for first publication/serialization rights and 6 months of exclusivity following publication of the piece. Submissions should be in finished, final draft form. Please do not send unedited works, excerpts or pitches. Well, you can send me a pitch, and if it sounds awesome, I will tell you “That sounds awesome, now write that story, make sure it’s edited, and submit that to me”, but that’s it. Please send the file as a .doc or .docx or, if you must, a RTF. Your manuscript should match the standard manuscript format (i.e. double spaced, no hyphen breaks, page numbers somewhere, don’t use tab for indents, etc.) A lot of those things that seem unnecessary or piddly are actually really helpful for folks who are trying to markup your manuscript and get your text into a formatted document. Please be sure to include your address on your manuscript; this helps us know where to send checks and contributor copies. Cirsova does not buy reprints at this time. What we are looking for: Raygun Romance Radium Adventures Sword & Planet Space Cops Raymond Chandler But In Space SFF Heists Weird Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror Lost World South Seas Adventure Pre-Historic/Antiquity Occult Detective/Mystery Mad Science Monstergirls (but keep em classy!) and other dames Before submitting, we highly recommend reading, or having read at least some of the following authors: Edgar Rice Burroughs Leigh Brackett Jack Vance C.L. Moore Thomas Burnett Swann Otis Adelbert Kline Bassett Morgan Gardner F. Fox Clifford D. Simak Raymond F. Jones Ross Rocklynne...
