The Reinvented Heart Anthology
This is a fiction submissions call for female and nonbinary writers. Their guidelines say, “Science fiction often thinks about the technology and science without considering the ways social structures will change as tech changes — or not. What will relationships look like in the future when we have complications like clones, uploaded intelligences, artificial brains, or body augmentation? What happens when emotions like love and friendship span vast distances — in space, in time, and in the heart? And as we acknowledge differences in gender in a way we never have before, what stories are finally given the space in which to emerge?” See guidelines for the kind of stories the editor hopes to see.
Deadline: 31 October 2020
Length: 500-5,000 words
Pay: $0.08/word

Sci Phi Journal
They want “hard SF that zooms out of the personal and lifts off into the structural, the systemic, the epic. We yearn for carefully crafted philosophical speculation that puzzles over the questions of the future and alternate pasts. And we have a soft spot for stories created as ‘artefacts’ (fictional, ‘in-universe’ non-fiction).” See guidelines for further details on the kind of stories they want to see. They also accept translations. Non-fiction is unpaid.
Deadline: 31 October 2020
Length: Up to 2,000 words
Pay: 3 (Euro) cents per word for original fiction and 1 (Euro) cent per word for translations
Details here.

580 Split: Push Black
They want fiction, non-fiction, and poetry on Black resilience. Their guidelines say, “We look to highlight the work of Black folks from a range of experiences… . During a period of national uprising, presidential election, and global pandemic, we seek work that pushes against repressive boundaries and celebrates Black resilience across its wide-ranging manifestations.
Deadline: 31 October 2020
Length: Up to 3,000 words for prose; up to three poems
Pay: $50
Details here.

Constelación Magazine: The Bonds that Unite Us
This is a bilingual speculative fiction magazine. They have opened a short submission window for stories on the theme, ‘The Bonds that Unite Us’. Their guidelines say, “What are the bonds that unite our cultures and languages around the world? How are these bonds formed, and what upholds them? How can they be broken and forged again? What unites an alien civilization to humankind? What ties the dragon to the unicorn and prevents it from making a meal out of her?
Sometimes these bonds are ones of blood. (Vampire tastes may vary.) Sometimes they’re shaped by shows of courage and strength, and the common struggles we face. These bonds can topple walls and bring down civilizations, and sometimes they’re the foundation for something new.” The theme is open to interpretation. Submissions can be in English or Spanish, and they also ask for translation rights. They’re also looking for literary translators who can do translations from English to Spanish, and vice versa. They’re looking to commission art from BIPOC creators as well, and are requesting portfolios. They plan to open in mid-December for submissions on another theme (see guidelines).
Deadline: 1 November 2020
Length: Up to 6,400 words
Pay: $0.08/word for fiction; $1,000 for art
Details here.

Off Limits Press: Far From Home
This is an anthology of adventure horror; short horror stories which strongly incorporate adventure. Their guidelines say, “Adventure is intended to be interpreted broadly and may include, but is certainly not limited to, tales involving mountaineering, cave diving, the open sea, parkour, rafting, treasure hunting, arctic expedition, and caving. We are interested in and welcome most horror sub-genres, so long as the theme is strongly incorporated. Stories may include horror steeped in realism and/or the supernatural.”
Deadline: 1 November 2020
Length: 2,000-8,000 words
Pay: $0.01/word
Details here.

Ninth Letter: Touch
They are accepting fiction, essays, and poetry on the ‘Touch’ theme for their online edition. Their guidelines say, “When was your last? The question is particularly evocative (and provocative) at the present moment, when physical and social touch seem so restricted. With this in mind, the theme is necessarily constellatory. Consider: in touch, out of touch, touchdown, Midas touch, human touch, be in touch, lose touch, touchback, don’t touch, wouldn’t touch, wouldn’t touch with ten foot pole, touch a nerve, touch on, touch up, just a touch, touch and go, touch base, touch pad, lost touch, magic touch, touchy, retouched, I’m touched, truly touched, two-hand-touch, untouched, stay in touch, touchback, touch-less, finishing touch, put me in touch, lose touch, lost touch, untouched, untouched, untouched. ” (For the print edition, there are separate guidelines and mailed submissions for that are free.)
Deadline: 3 November 2020
Length: Up to 3,500 words for prose, up to 3 poems
Pay: $75 for a story or an essay, and $25 per poem

Curiouser Magazine 
This is a new Australian magazine of short fiction and poetry. Their website says the magazine “…was created out of a love for intriguing short fiction that explores – by fantastical means – what it is to be human.” Also, “We specialise in prose and poetry that can be defined roughly by the genre of magic realism. Whilst the official definition for magic realism states it is a form of literature that deals, in an accepting fashion, aspects of life usually represented as outside reality, we prefer to cast our nets a little bit wider.
We love the fantastical, the horrific, the experimental, the incantatory. We don’t like morality plays, overt spiritualism, the banal, the painfully self-aware.”
Deadline: Open now
Length: Up to 5,000 words; up to three poems
Pay: $50-125 for short prose, $25 for poetry (Australian)
