Call for Submissions: Del Sol SFF Review Accepting Speculative Fiction Submissions.
Submission Guidelines
Del Sol Review seeks to publish unsolicited works of speculative fiction which includes (and this is not an exclusive list) science fiction, fantasy, urban, steampunk, horror, alternate history, utopian, dystopian and futuristic. Fiction submissions must be formatted in a standard manner and from 500 to 6000 words in length. We also accept excerpts from novels-in-progress up to 6000 words (please include a one page synopsis with novel excerpt).
Editors prefer fiction containing unique and interesting subject matter. Please don’t send us the kind of trope-heavy material that Clarkesworld, for example, would reject out of hand. Zombies, vampires, dragons, among other things are avoided by us unless you have a brand new spin on the subject. Overall, we’re looking for sharp narrative, strong hooks, and unpredictable storyline progression. Also, please write a great first line. Stories must be thoroughly proofed.
We obtain exclusive electronic rights for six months following publication and non-exclusive rights after six months. Stories must be previously unpublished and thoroughly proofed. By contributing, you affirm that you have read and agree with the submission guidelines on this page. We ask that subsequent publication of the same story, whether print or electronic, acknowledge first publication in DS-SFF Review.
All works submitted should reside in the body of the email, or attached as an .rtf file (Rich Text Format).
Please send all submissions to Richard Hacker, SFF Editor: sffeditor ( at ) richardhacker.com
