  • Additional info

    We’re looking for science fiction, fantasy, horror, the uncanny, or any work (fiction, nonfiction, or poetry) that orbit this genre, with a particular focus on characters in some type of transition: political (as in migration stories); personal (such as across culture or identities), biological, linguistic, geographic, or other forms of being in-between. Academics would call these stories about “intersectionality.” Frivolous Comma exists to spotlight and elevate diverse writers of speculative fiction, particularly writers who are underrepresented (BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+) as well as writers who come from, or currently reside in, markets where English is not the first language. No multiple submissions. We accept a limited number of reprints. If you submit work that's been published elsewhere - please include where with a link. Short Fiction: $0.08/word with $100 minimum; Non-Fiction Essays or Columns: $75 per article; Poetry: $40 per poem; Art: $200 for original work; $100 for work from artist's existing portfolio; We pay $25 per work for reprints.
