We are currently looking for content for Issue #1.

This is a free hobbyist magazine, so we don't pay for submissions. You will retain all the rights for your submission, to republish elsewhere under whatever licensing you choose. All you are doing by allowing us to publish your work in our webzine is giving us permission to include your work in a single issue of the magazine. A given issue is licensed as CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, which means that we give it away for free, under the terms that the issue cannot be used to create derivative works or be sold for monetary gain. This allows you to protect your works to publish or use them elsewhere, while allowing us to freely distribute issues of the webzine.

We are looking for stories, poetry, and visual artwork that is in the general scope of "Weird Fiction", in the tradition of the old pulp magazines. Think R. E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, and H. P. Lovecraft.

We don't accept visual art that is made using AI algorithms. We don't accept stories or poetry that is generated using AI algorithms. We don't accept submissions that are based on other people's copyrighted works. No fan fiction! Your submission must be your own original work.

To submit your work for the next issue, just send an email with your submission as an attachment. Submissions should be in an easily readable format. Plain text files and PNG images are preferred.

By submitting your work you acknowledge that your work will be formatted for use in the magazine. If your work requires editing, we will only publish editorial revisions that you have approved of, and the editorial revision will be released to you as your own content. We seek only the right to publish your work in a single issue of the webzine.
