![]() What we pay: We pay 25 cents a word for the first 5,000 words, 15 cents a word for the next 5,000, and 10 cents a word after that. But you can send your novel to our corporate cousins at Tor Books, as long as you follow their submissions guidelines. Sorry, them’s the breaks.īut, my novel! Sorry, we don’t want it. Well, unless you’ve won a bunch of major awards or are some kind of bestseller. We will consider stories that are slightly longer than 12k, but we really must put our foot down at the “novelette” mark-in other words, we will not read anything over 17,500 words. We’re particularly interested in stories under 12,000 words, and may even be slightly more likely to take a chance on shorter stories from new writers. We define “speculative fiction” broadly, including SF, fantasy, horror, alternate history, and related genres. What we’re looking for: Tor.com welcomes original speculative fiction short stories and poetry. What we are: Tor.com is a short fiction market edited by Patrick Nielsen Hayden and Liz Gorinsky, with support and reading from Bridget Smith and occasional helpers. Tor.com also looks for extensive rights, but they are paying for them, and these are the sort of rights which become necessary in our more and more digital world. That said, they don’t like simultaneous submissions, but they tend to reply very slowly. ![]() Tor.com pays twenty-five cents a word, which is extremely high for genre fiction. This is a good venue for writers because it is a high visibility site, a site connected with a very established publishing house, and publication here pays a bunch. Tor.com updated their guidelines a few weeks ago. Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 | Filed under Headline, Professional | Posted by
