Etaerio SF Open for Submissions to Issue 2

[Serendipity]

While Issue 1 of Etaerio SF pamphlet are well under way, I am now open for short science fiction stories to Issue 2.

What am I looking for? Science fiction stories that are

• About our realisable futures
• 3,000 to 6,000 words
• Family friendly
• Original and unpublished
• Do not contain references to fandom shows etc or other copyrighted work

Practicalities

• I'm limiting story submissions to chronners for now. PM me your story so I know you are actually member.
• Stories for the second issue need to be submitted by close of play, March 25th.
• Only two stories per issue will be published.
• Story in word .doc or .docx format - ideally in that standard William Shunn's format with contact details and a standard font like Arial or Times New Roman.
• If stories are accepted, there will be editing done. Editing that affects the story content will be agreed with the author prior to publication (this is usually what I call consistency and polishing editing)
• There will be a contract per story - usual standard terms.

Because I'm running this on a very tight budget, I can only offer a token payment. Therefore all I'm asking in return is exclusive print and electronic publishing rights for one month after publication date.

Only three weeks to go before this window closes. I'm looking forward to seeing what you lovely people produce...

Postscript - please do not confuse the pamphlet Etaerio SF with the story BSFA's Fission #1 has kindly accepted! I have a thing about the word 'etaerio', and the timing of this coincidence was very accidental!

It is with regret that I am unable to publish Issue 2 on the date I had hoped - June 25th, due to circumstances beyond my control. I will aim (with fingers crossed etc) to publish it on what would have been Issue 3's slot, September 25th. Apologies to those who are eagerly anticipating this Issue.
