Beneath Ceaseless Skies is a digital publication of literary adventure fantasy.

They publish stories “with a secondary-world setting and some traditional or classic fantasy feel, but written with a literary approach.”

They pay 6 cents per word, up to 14,000 words. That works out to a maximum of $840.

Note that they don’t want “urban fantasy” or stories set in the “real world.”

They prefer character focused stories, with lush but clear prose.

They do not accept reprints.

They accept submissions from all writers.

According to their submission guidelines:

BCS welcomes submissions from new and unpublished writers. Many of our authors are new or neo-pro writers; often their sale to BCS was their first pro-rate short fiction sale or their third pro sale and qualified them to join SFWA. All our rejection letters are personalized, which many new and neo-pro writers tell us they find helpful in revising their stories to submit elsewhere and in developing their writing in general.

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis.
