These magazines pay for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. They’re a mix of literary and genre magazines. Not all are open through the month.
Translunar Travelers Lounge
They want fun speculative fiction. “A fun story, at its core, is one that works on the premise that things aren’t all bad; that ultimately, good wins out. … Swashbuckling adventure, deadly intrigue, and gleeful romance are some of the most obvious examples of what we’re looking for, but we won’t say no to more subtle or complicated topics, as long as they fit under the wider “fun” umbrella.”
Deadline: 15 April 2024
Length: Up to 5,000 words
Pay: $0.03/word
