These magazines pay $50 to about $700 for fiction. A few also accept other genres, like non-fiction and poetry. – S. Kalekar

Mysterion
They want science fiction, fantasy and horror stories that engage meaningfully with Christian themes, characters or cosmology. “We love science fiction and fantasy, enjoy good ghost stories, and think there’s great fiction material hidden in the mysteries of Christian theology–cherubim, leviathan, nephilim, visions, prophecy, and more”, according to guidelines. The stories need not teach a moral or be close to an approved theological position. Nor do they need to be pro-Christian – see their detailed guidelines on the kind of work they see too often, and what they would like to see. They are especially interested in stories that show Christians from cultures beyond those of the United States, Canada, and Western Europe. They also accept translations and reprints, and art submissions.

Welkin: A Magazine of the Fantastic
This is a new magazine. Their website says this is “is magazine of fantastic literature, a journal devoted to the obscure and the outré, to narrowing the gap between realist literary fiction and more traditional and fantastic modes of narrative. We specifically look for submissions in the magical realist, fabulist, fairy tale, fantasy, gothic, metafictional, slipstream, fantastic, weird, surrealist, and experimental genres. We seek a movement away from plotless, quotidian tales in favor of the imaginative, the gripping, and the plot-driven.” They do not specify word count, but their quarterly magazine is 80 pages, so submissions have to be shorter than that. Flash stories of up to 1,500 words, published in their online magazine ‘The Book of Idle Tales’, are unpaid. Submissions for Welkin will be considered in March, July, October, and January. Submissions for ‘The Book of Idle Tales’ will be considered year-round.

Perhaps the bridge you’ve traveled has been one between cultures or between tongues; maybe you’ve struggled with barriers that are invisible to others but that tower insurmountably in your path.
