Looking for a place to submit your science fiction short story or novella? Analog generally is considered one of the two best science fiction magazines in which to be published.
n Pay: 6 cents per word to 8 cents per word for short stories up to 7,500 words, $450-600 for stories between 7,500 and 10,000 words; and 5 cents per word to 6 cents per word for longer material
n Word count (maximum): 2,000 and 7,000 words for shorts, 10,000-20,000 words for novelettes, and 40,000-80,000 for serials
n Seeks: The writers’ guidelines says the magazine open to any brand of science fiction, but Analog really is known for its hard SF. The writers’ guidelines hint at this when noting that the magazine wants “stories in which some aspect of future science or technology is so integral to the plot that, if that aspect were removed, the story would collapse.” The magazine is known for specializing in hard SF.
