Fiction:

What we're looking for:
Ĉon publishes speculative fiction of all kinds: science fiction, fantasy, dark fantasy, horror, magic realism, and everything in between. Our guidelines are simple: your story needs to be speculative in nature, it must be 7500 words or under, and it needs to kick our (collective) ass.
Please do not query for fiction; send the entire manuscript. Please submit disposable manuscripts only; manuscripts will not be returned. Please do not include a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope). Please date your cover letter.
We do not accept simultaneous or electronic submissions (EXCEPTIONS BELOW), and we prefer to see no more than one submission at a time from any one writer.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are on Ĉon's list of professional writers with track records, a.k.a The List - and the guilty parties know who they are - you have been cleared for electronic submissions. We prefer .doc or .rtf attachments over stories pasted into email, and electronic submissions should be in standard manuscript format.
If you are NOT on the list but feel you qualify, please send the Ĉon editors a brief summary of your relevant qualifications. If you believe we already know your qualifications and you are not on The List, it's possible our invitation email did not reach you, or that we did not have an email address for you at the time we issued our initial invitation.
