Leading Australian science fiction and fantasy magazine Aurealis is now 25 years old. The title, which publishes ten issues a year, reopens to submissions on 1 February. The title pays between $20-60 Australian per 1,000 words for stories of 2,000-8,000 words. However, non-Australian writers should enquire to editor Dirk Strasser before submitting, as stories by non-Australians are required to have some Australian character and background. This needs to be integral to the story, and not just bolted onto a standard plot. Send your enquiries to editors@aurealis.com.au and read the full guidelines at: https://aurealis.com.au/submissions/
