Additional info
Cutting edge Science Fiction, Slipstream, Classic and Modern Fantasy. Romance might be accepted, provided it has a strong fantasy element to it. Wow us. We want characters and stories readers will remember long afterward. Payment. For previously unpublished works, Silver Pen pays a flat fee of $15 for novellas, $3 for flash fiction, $8 for short stories, $8 for single poems and $15 for Featured Poets (by invitation only). Silver Pen will pay half of these rates for previously published works. Multiple submissions are welcome, but we will not publish more than one piece by an author in any single issue (exception: Poetry submissions to SB).
