In celebration of Short Story Month, here is a list of websites, magazines and journals that publish short speculative fiction. They publish a whole range, including hard to soft and philosophical science fiction, slipstream, space opera, weird fiction, pulp SF, vampire and werewolf stories, fantasy of various shades, and horror. While some of these markets publish only speculative fiction, a few publish other fiction genres as well, as well as nonfiction and poetry. All of these pay writers, from token to pro rates. Not all of these markets are currently open for submissions, but most are, or will be open for submissions soon. Also see this themed submissions list for a few more speculative fiction markets, with deadlines coming up.
