3. Maximum of 7,500 words. Firm limit.
4. Double spaced. Please use Courier or Times New Roman as your font. Font point size of 12.
5. No multiple submissions. No simultaneous submissions.
6. We no longer accept post mailed submissions. They will be discarded unread.Payment for new fiction will be 5.0 cents per word (made within 30 days of publication). We claim first world electronic rights for 90 days from publication, non-exclusive electronic rights for an additional 9 months, and non-exclusive anthology rights.

I would be interested to know if you are also accepting poetry submissions in the Dark and Horror SF formats as well.
David…while we generally don’t publish poetry, Michael A. Burstein is editing a special issue and he’s accepting poetry submissions. Check out our submissions page for more details.
I have a short story that is 5,967 words long, would that be acceptable, or does a story have to be over 7,000 words?
Is your magazine online or do you publish it in print?
Online.
