WHAT WE PUBLISH



FLASH ME MAGAZINE is a quarterly publication brought to you by Winged Halo Productions. We are a paying market, accepting all genres of fiction under 1,000 words. We are one of the few markets that offer editorial feedback with rejection letters.

Stories with excessive gore, violence, profanity, or sex are not appropriate for Flash Me Magazine. As a magazine geared towards readers of all ages and beliefs, we reserve the right to decline stories based on their content. We do not publish poetry.

Issues are published on January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31. Submission deadlines are two months prior to publication.

*The deadline for our next issue is June 1, 2010 @ midnight EST.*


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Last Updated 3-3-10

We accept all genres of fiction under 1,000 words. There is no minimum word count, but our upper limit is set in stone.

All submissions must have the word SUBMISSION in the subject, as well as your story's title. Stories should be sent either in the body of your email or attached as a .doc or .rtf document to submissions(at)wingedhalo(dot)com. Do NOT send .docx documents - we cannot open them. If you are pasting your submission into the body of your email, please use plain text without any special formatting. A garbled submission is a pain to read and is easy to avoid.

Include your legal name, your name as you want it published, your email address and a short biography to be published with your story. You may also include a link to your personal website. Submissions with incorrect subject lines and/or without all the required information will be rejected upon receipt, even if we've published your work before.

Please send only one submission per email. We do not limit the amount of submissions per author, per quarter, but we do need each and every submission sent in a separate email with all of the above requested information in each email. We will reject any emails that have more than one submission in it.

We do not encourage simultaneous submissions. We don't want to reserve a slot for your story, only to have you pull it for publication elsewhere.

Please tell us if your submission is a reprint. We do consider reprints for publication, as long as the author discloses where the story was previously published and assures us that they retain all rights to the story. Failure to disclose previous publications or incarnations of a story is grounds for rejection.

***

PLEASE NOTE: We notify each author when we receive their submission. If you do not receive an email within a few days, assume we have not received your submission and resend it. We will send acceptance and denial letters at least two weeks prior to publication (Jan 17, April 17, July 17, Oct 17). If you do not receive an email by then, please email us with a query.


PAYMENT

We are a paying market. All published stories will receive twenty-five dollars ($25) US via PayPal, plus a year's subscription to Flash Me Magazine.

Our Feature Story winner will receive an additional twenty-five dollars ($25), for a total of fifty dollars ($50) US via PayPal. That means Feature Stories are guaranteed professional rates of at least five cents ($0.05) per word.

We will choose our Feature Story only after all accepted stories are formatted for publication. Please see our Editorial Process for more details.

PayPal payments will be sent out on or before publication. Subscriptions are usually sent out one day prior to the next scheduled issue (Jan 30, April 29, July 30, Oct 30). Alternative means of payment can be negotiated.

***

RIGHTS: We are buying Exclusive Electronic Rights for a period of three months. We require permission to use accepted stories in our free online issue, our PDF subscription, and any future CD versions produced. We require permission to archive the story online for one year. We will continue to archive the story unless the author requests we remove it. If we decide to publish an anthology or print versions at any time in the future, we will contact the authors for permission to reprint their stories.


SLUSH PILE UPDATES

Flash Me Magazine has a blog called The Slush Pile where we will post updates on incoming submissions.
