These magazines pay $50 to $1,000 for short fiction, and one magazine pays considerably more for novella-length works. Some also accept other genres, like non-fiction and poetry. — S. Kalekar

They publish literary fiction and personal essays. “We are happy to publish work that celebrates the joy of reading and writing across different reading preferences.

Contributors should be open to revision and editing suggestions.” And, “For our summer issue, we will specifically be looking for humorous work, lighthearted pieces, or works that explore the humor woven through struggles.” Please note, they will close submissions early if they hit their quota.

Fusion Fragment
This Canadian speculative fiction magazine will open for science fiction and SF-tinged literary fiction submissions for one day only, on 13^th May. “Although any science fiction subgenre is fair game, our tastes lean towards slipstream, cyberpunk, post-apocalypse, and anything with a little taste of the bizarre. FF prefers character-driven stories, and often skews towards quiet, reflective pieces. If the primary tone of your story is one of high adventure or humour, it’s probably not the right fit for FF. That said, quality always outstrips genre preference in terms of importance, so feel free to send us anything that even vaguely resembles science fiction.” The submission portal will open during the reading period.
Reading period: 13^th May 2023
Length: 2,000-15,000 words
Pay: 3.5 Canadian cents per word, up to CAD300
Details here.

Solarpunk
They are open for general, unthemed solarpunk stories and poetry during the first two weeks of May. They publish “hopeful short stories and poetry that strive for a utopian ideal, that are set in futures where communities are optimistically struggling to solve or adapt to climate change, to create or maintain a world in which humanity, technology, and nature coexist in harmony rather than in conflict.” And, “Our fiction editors are interested in works that stir readers with themes of defiance, change, and achievement. This effect isn’t likely to come via high concept utopias alone, but rather, from vibrant characters whose struggles affect the reader. Speculative elements should be apparent but not dominating; our disbelief suspended not by necessity, but immersion. Any genre of science fiction, interstitial fiction, magic realism, or fantasy has potential as a solarpunk forum—we welcome robots and elves with equal excitement.” They are still accepting submissions for a themed issue, ‘Solarpunk Myth’, as well. They also accept translations, non-fiction, and artwork.
Deadline: 14 May 2023 for fiction and poetry; non-fiction open on an ongoing basis
Length: 1500-7500 words for fiction; up to 5 poems (see guidelines); 1,000-2,000 words for nonfiction
