I want to give my fellow authors a heads up that AntipodeanSF and Jellyfish Reveiw are currently open for flash fiction submissions.
You’ll find the guidelines below. However, this is just an overview. It is always wise to get your information directly from the publication’s website and read what they have have already published.
***While these publications seem legit, I cannot guarantee their validity or philosophies.***
AntipodeanSF
DESCRIPTION: AntipodeanSF is devoted to ‘down under’ science/speculative fiction stories of about 500-1000 words or less.
Yet while its intent is in part to highlight and promote Australian/NZ writers (who are, after all, resident in the antipodes), the meaning of antipodean is not limited by the editor to a mere description of locality. Thus AntipodeanSF is open to submissions from anywhere in the world, as long as the story has a surprise ending, twists normal notions of SF/F/H upside-down, is especially humorous, takes an oblique perspective on otherwise ‘normal’ events, or attempts to subvert the foundations of Western capitalist ideology (for example). – https://antisf.com/the-stories/the-zip/71-production-crew
