Four paying speculative fiction markets



The following speculative fiction markets are all open now,  or opening soon.  And, they all pay.

- Freeze Frame Fiction

Freeze Frame Fiction is looking for flash fiction up to 1000 words.  They pay $10 per story, and will accept simultaneous submissions (though no reprints).  The guidelines state that "stories involving vampires, zombies, or werecreatures" might be fighting an uphill battle here.

Submit via Submittable by July 31st.



(courtesy of Published to Death)

Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores publishes "well written original stories in science fiction, fantasy, myth, legend, fairy tales, and eldritch" and prefer shorter pieces over longer ones.  Pays 6 cents/word for unpublished fiction; 2 cents/word for reprints.

They open for submissions four times a year, for one week at a time.  The next submission window is June 21st to June 28th.



- Changelings & Fairy Rings: An Anthology of Nature Spirits & Elemental Creatures

Three Drops Press is putting together "a themed anthology in honour of the Good Folk."  The book will be pocket-sized, so the editors are looking for poems 40 lines or less and flash fiction 500 words or fewer.  Previously published submissions are allowed; simultaneous ones are not.  Payment is £3.50 UK ($5.00 US) and a PDF copy of the anthology. 

The submission deadline is June 1st.



Lamplight

LampLight is a digital magazine for literary dark fiction.  The editors want "stories that are dark, literary; we are looking for the creepy, the weird and the unsettling."  Previously published stories will be considered, as long as they are not available for free somewhere else online.  Simultaneous submissions are also accepted.  Writers are paid 3 cents/word -- 1 cent/word for reprints -- up to a maximum of $150.

Submit via Submittable by June 15th.
