Buzzy Mag is looking for original science fiction, fantasy and horror short stories up to 10,000 words. Thriller, suspense and paranormal tales that cross into traditional speculative fiction are welcome. In addition, we are interested in pieces that may be able to be developed into full length novels for publication by Buzzy Multimedia at a future date.
Buzzy accepts submissions from both authors and literary agents.
We do not accept e-mailed proposals. All proposals must be sent via regular mail.
Please provide the proposal and manuscript on 8.5″ x 11″ white paper. The text should be in a serifed font, such as Times New Roman and be printed at 12 point size. The body of the text must be double-spaced and justified left for ease of editing. All pages must be consecutively numbered throughout. Do not number chapters separately. Do not staple or otherwise bind the text. Manuscripts not meeting these basic criteria will be immediately rejected without being read for consideration.
On a cover page, include the title of the work, its word count, a brief synopsis, your writing experience, and full contact information including your Facebook, Live Journal, and Twitter information (if applicable)
Please keep in mind that while we do enjoy fiction with lots of action and erotica we are aware there are young readers online. Make sure you short story is acceptable for a 15yr. old to read. We DO NOT ACCEPT pornography, child subject matter, racial propaganda or fan fiction.
Payment is 5 cents USD per word.
Please allow 4 weeks for review of an inquiry, 6 to 8 weeks for review of a proposal and 10 to 14 weeks for review of partial or complete manuscripts. Every effort will be made to expedite this process and to give each project our fullest attention, but due to the large number of inquiries there can be delays.
All inquiries, proposals, and manuscripts should be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope for our reply. If you desire your materials returned to you, please provide postage suitable for that purpose.
If we feel your work is a good fit for Buzzy Mag we will contact you via email.
