Submit to the Strange Horizons Webzine
Have been posting international spec fic openings here, but if you’re looking for exposure, you need not look farther than Strange Horizons, a recognized international speculative fiction publication.
The Philippines’ very own Dean Alfar had a story published there, entitled L’Aquilone du Estrellas (The Kite of Stars), which also made it into the zine’s 2004 Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror Stories anthology published by St. Martin’s Press.
From the website:
Strange Horizons (www.strangehorizons.com) is a weekly web-based magazine of and about speculative fiction. The term “speculative fiction” refers to what is more commonly known as “sci-fi,” but which properly embraces science fiction, fantasy, magic realism, slipstream, and a host of sub-genres.
Interested writers may check out their submission guidelines. Fictionists are not the only ones welcome to submit – the zine also accepts poetry, art, articles and reviews!
Hi Bhex, thanks for the mention. Small correction though. “L’Aquilone” was reprinted in The Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror Seventeenth Annual Collection. The antho series is separate from Strange Horizons and is published by St. Martin’s Press, edited by Ellen Datlow, Kelly Link & Gavin Grant.
But I do encourage everyone to sub to Strange Horizons. They are respond in a reasonable amount of time and are forthright.
thanks for the correction, dean, have fixed! and thanks for the heads up on this publication too!
