Short Fiction online

Those of you interested in reading free short SF stories on line and submitting your own work to magazines should check the following sites and, after you have read an issue or two, their submission guidelines. Some of them run poetry as well.

Concept Sci-fi
Hub Magazine
Pantechnicon
Bewildering Stories
Fantasy Magazine
Strange Horizons
And many others
There are also freely downloadable stories on the Interzone site.

Not quite so free and not necessarily on line are:
Analog
Asimovs
Jupiter Magazine
Interzone & its sibling Black Static
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Note that during the run up to SF fiction awards, like the Hugo, the magazines and authors place their nominated stories on line to enable voters to read them prior to voting.
This years Hugo nominated short fiction have links here.

There are many SF conventions where authors, publishers, agents and readers meet for professional, publicity, entertainment, book buying and alcohol fuelled activities every year. The links for all these are on the Ansible site. Noteworthy in the UK, coming up, are Fantasy Con in Nottingham, Newcon 4 in Northampton, Novacon in Birmingham and Eastercon (LX2009) in Bradford. August 2008 brings Worldcon in Denver where the final Hugo votes will taken and then tallied so the awards can be presented. We hope Interzone will win again but the competition is tough.
