Cast of Wonders is a podcast that features short stories for a young adult audience, think Harry Potter, or the Hunger Games.

They pay $.06 cents per word, up to 6,000 words. That works out to a max of $360.

According to their submission guidelines:

“We prefer high fantasy — elves, dragons, secondary worlds, and magic — to the more cerebral forms of fantasy you find in adult markets.

We like all forms of science fiction: far-future, near future, space opera, “hard” sci-fi — but it must be accessible to our target audience. This means a minimum of technical jargon.

We’re happy to read comedy, steampunk, horror, urban fantasy, paranormal romance, superheroes and many other genres. All that matters is adherence to our core concept and that critical spark of wonder.”

They opened to submissions on December 15th.
