Submissions

Interzone is open to unsolicited submissions of fiction from everyone, whoever or wherever you are. We are especially keen to read innovative and entertaining stories of between 2000 and 6000 words, but we have no set maximum length or minimum length and sometimes publish pieces which fall outside that range.

Please read a couple of recent issues of Interzone before you submit your work to us. Being familiar with what we publish will greatly improve your chances of acceptance. Subscriptions are available at Patreon and ebook back issues can be found at the Interzone shop and at independent bookshops Weightless and Scarlet Ferret. If you are unable to buy Interzone, but would like to read the magazine, get in touch and we will send you a coupon for a free issue.

We are looking for original, unpublished stories (but see below about translated works).

We accept simultaneous submissions.

We don’t accept multiple submissions. Send just one story at a time.

Translations are accepted, even if the story has been published previously in a language other than English – please include the name of the translator.

We do not use any form of AI or LLM in the production of Interzone and we don’t want to read stories that incorporate any amount of ‘writing’ generated by ‘AI’ tools.

Payment is (EUR) 1.5¢ per word (one and one-half euro cents).

Send your story as an ODT, DOC, DOCX, or RTF file in standard manuscript format (double spaced, good margins, contact email) to: submissions [at] interzone [dot] press.

Don’t be discouraged by a form rejection. We are always eager to read more stories, so try us with something new.

We look forward to receiving your manuscripts.

Warm wishes,
the Interzone team
