WEIRD TALES Submission Guidelines

We are temporarily closed to fiction and poetry submissions.

We closed to submissions on June 5, 2012. Anything submitted after that day will not be read.

Art

We are seeking art for all upcoming issues. We want individual pieces, and to partner with artists on an ongoing basis. Links and files accepted. Send to WeirdPortal at gmail.com

Please know that each issue of Weird Tales — beginning with issue 360 — will have a theme. This means that HALF of each issue will be devoted to strange and innovative takes on that theme. This also means that HALF of each issue will be devoted to the unclassifiable and eclectic tales that have always been the soul of Weird Tales.

Nonfiction

A limited amount of nonfiction will be considered for publication. Query first. Send to WeirdPortal at gmail.com

Formatting

Submissions should be double-spaced with indented paragraphs with no extra space inserted between paragraphs.

Do not underline material to be highlighted. Use italics…and do remember to italicize the titles of books and periodicals.

The most preferable format for submissions is .rtf, but Word .doc is also acceptable, as is WordPerfect’s .wpd. Please do not submit stories in .docx or .pdf.
