Whetstone: Amateur Magazine of Pulp Sword and Sorcery

whetstonemag.blogspot.com

"WHETSTONE is an amateur magazine that seeks to discover, inspire, and publish emerging authors who are enthusiastic about the tradition of "pulp sword and sorcery." Writers in this tradition include (but are not limited to) the following: Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, Michael Moorcock, Karl Edward Wagner, David C. Smith, and many more. "Pulp sword and sorcery" emphasizes active protagonists, supernatural menaces, and preindustrial (mostly ancient and medieval) settings. Some "pulp sword and sorcery" straddles the line between historical and fantasy fiction; at WHETSTONE, however, we prefer "secondary world settings," other worlds liberated from the necessity of historical accuracy. Want to learn more about our aesthetic? Issues 1 and 2 are available as free PDFs on our webpage: whetstonemag.blogspot.com"

WHETSTONE is an amateur magazine

You can say that again - can't even afford a domain name, and pay $10 a story?

I was only getting $5 a story when I had a few published in the 9 Tales series.

The most concerning thing about it is the ‘in our opinion’ regarding copyright.Their opinion doesn’t matter, it’s copyright law that matters. Makes me suspicious but maybe that’s just me.
