Launched in 1990, Aurealis is Australia’s oldest and most respected speculative fiction magazine. Now published ten times a year as an electronic magazine, Aurealis has a new editor and publisher, Dirk Strasser, and new guidelines. The editorial team is looking for original science fiction, fantasy or horror short stories between 2,000 and 8,000 words from writers anywhere in the world.
All types of science fiction, fantasy and horror that are of a speculative nature will be considered. No stories based on pre-existing media: ie TV shows, movies or video games. Horror must have a supernatural element. No previously published works, no poetry, novel extracts or serials, simultaneous or multiple subs.
