These guidelines are VITAL in terms of your submission. Please follow them, we don't want to turn away a great story because of little mistakes!
Read our 'Submissions' page for layout guidelines and more!
Story Genre:
'Theseus Publishing Online' Magazine specialises in Science Fiction and Fantasy short stories. That means (unless you are submitting for the monthly fan fiction, which changes genres per month), we DO NOT accept any other genres! Science Fiction and Fantasy are big categories for our magazine to deal with, and whilst your unrelated story may be great, we have no space for other genres in our magazine. For other genre magazines please visit our 'Partner Sites' page. |
Word Count:
Okay, this is a biggie. As we have said on our 'Submissions' and 'Flash Fiction' pages, we have SET word lengths (See the pages for more information.) Seeing as we hope to publish as many submissions in an issue as possible, any stories under or over the specified word count will be instantly rejected; no matter how great your story is! This is due to the requirements of the website, and should be respected upon applying. So please, follow the word count specifications, they're there for good reason! |
Feedback from us:
When we receive your submission, if we choose to publish you, we will contact you after the submissions have closed for that month. Please do not contact us asking about the status of your submission, we are notified as soon as we receive an e-mail so we WILL have looked at your submission, we just need time to process it. |
