They also accept reprints. They can accept only 300 submissions a month during their reading period.

Constellary Tales
­­­­­They publish and podcast speculative short fiction – science fiction and fantasy (no horror). Their guidelines say, “Prose can be stylish, but it doesn’t have to be.

Aggregate
They are always looking for quality fiction for their anthology of short stories. They want solid, creative short stories. Their guidelines say, “We tend toward science fiction and horror, but prefer to think of genre as a loose categorization at best. Experimental fiction is welcomed, and even strongly encouraged. Strong consideration will be given to stories that explore the sociological and psychological. We’re not particularly concerned about the location or time in which the story takes place, or the use of supernatural or non-supernatural elements.” There is no deadline – as soon as they finish work for one anthology, they start selecting stories for the next one. The journal is based in Canada; they accept submissions from all over the world, and pay in US dollars.
Deadline: Ongoing
Length: 2,000-10,000 words
