We will be open for fiction submissions on the 1st day of every month (whatever your time zone). Please only submit during this period.
We’re always open for non-fiction and artwork queries.
Fiction
Up to 5,000 words, science fiction and fantasy for publication in Wyldblood Magazine and/or online.
Submit via email contact@wyldblood.com (SUB – name – title on subject line) with a Word/RTF file and a short bio. £0.01 per word. Sim subs okay, but no reprints (except by invitation), no multiples and definitely no AI content. Name and contact details on the manuscript. We’re also looking for novellas (15-40,000 words with a flat rate £100 payment. Nothing longer at the moment.
We are a speculative fiction publisher. Interpret that as you will when deciding what to submit, but bear in mind that we are unlikely to publish fiction without a speculative element (science fiction or fantasy) and we’re not keen on horror, humour or high fantasy. We pay for fiction.
Non-fiction
Query us with ideas for articles, reviews and interviews at contact@wyldblood.com. Don’t send the text – we’ll ask for it if we think it might be suitable. If we buy, it’ll be at our short fiction rate of £0.01 per word. Put ‘QUERY‘ in your email’s subject line, please, otherwise we may miss it.
Artwork
We need covers for Wyldblood Magazine and our novellas. We pay £85 for original covers. Query us with relevant samples (must be SF or fantasy themed) at contact@wyldblood.com
Response times
We aim to get back to you within one month of submission. Feel free to query us if we’re late.
