WHAT'S NEW AT FLASH ME MAGAZINE?
Last updated 2-28-10
Flash Me Magazine announces its first Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror issue: Instead of doing our usual all-fantasy issue this year, we'll be publishing a combination issue on October 31, 2010. All stories submitted for the S/F/H issue must contain some element of science fiction, fantasy, horror, or any combination of those genres and be 1,000 words or less. The S/F/H Issue submission period begins April 30, 2010 and ends August 31, 2010. Special guidelines apply, and we will not be accepting simultaneous submissions for this issue. Please see the S/F/H submission guidelines for complete details.
A Change in Pay Rates. To celebrate our seventh year in publication, we will dramatically increase our pay rates. As of July 1, 2010, 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! Talk about a seven-year itch! These new pay rates will go into effect for stories published in our July 2010 issue and onward.
A Change in Submission Deadlines. We changed our submission deadlines each quarter, so that we have more time to review submissions, do our end-of-quarter voting, and format the issues. Our original submission deadlines were March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. We are pushing the deadlines up to the beginning of those months. We will still be open to submission year-round, but our deadlines for each particular issue will be March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1.
