Strange Horizons and Samovar
Dec. 5th, 2020 01:22 amHuh; I was not expecting that.
Well, anyway, for anyone who missed the post getting way more attention than I anticipated on Tumblr:
My sister-in-law would like me to remind everyone that free-to-read speculative fiction magazines Strange Horizons and Samovar pay Pro Rates for artists, writers, and, in Samovar's case, translation! They are also always looking for stories by and about marginalized people: Non-straight, non-cis, intersex, POC, disabled, minority religion, etc. Samovar also offers stories in multiple languages, so feel free to submit something that's not in English!
The staff at Strange Horizons and Samovar are especially proud to focus on content about a particular identity whenever bigots get up in arms about their inclusion (or, as was the case with the Sad/Rabid Puppies and the Hugos a few years back, have completely misunderstood what the magazine and its staff stand for).
Also, again, my SIL works as an editor for them, and I can vouch that she's good people and is telling the truth about how enthusiastic the staff are about representation in stories.
Anyway, if you like to write stuff (or draw or translate stuff!), be sure to check them out!
