Gamut is a new publisher of neo-noir speculative fiction, funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. Their goal is to support voices that aren’t getting recognition, and to “pay a great rate.”

Payment rates are indeed above the average for the genre; they pay ten cents per word, up to 5,000 words. They prefer stories around 3,000 words.

According to their submission guidelines:

“Gamut will include mostly fiction (some original, some reprints) but also columns, non-fiction, art, flash fiction, poetry, and maybe even a serial memoir or novella. I have a word count per month in mind, based on my budget, and I’m looking to release new content several times a week—ideally, every day. We are looking for fantasy, science fiction, horror, neo-noir, crime, mystery, thrillers, magical realism, transgressive, Southern gothic, weird, bizarro—all with a literary bent.”

They launched on January 1st, 2017.
