WRITER'S GUIDELINES
F&SF has no formula for fiction. We are looking for stories that will appeal to science fiction and fantasy readers. You know what kind we're talking about. The SF element may be slight, but it should be present. We prefer character-oriented stories.
Fiction can be up to 25,000 words in length. Stories should be attached as .doc .docx or .rtf files. Please submit your story in standard manuscript format. For a good article on old-fashioned standard manuscript preparation, see: www.sfwa.org/2008/11/manuscript-preparation/.
Payment is 7-12 cents per word on acceptance. F&SF buys first North American and foreign serial rights and an option on anthology rights. All other rights are retained by the author.
