Stellar scifi wanted

Constelación is to be a new quarterly bilingual speculative fiction magazine, publishing stories in both Spanish and English. The editorial team, led by co-editors Coral Alejandra Moore (based in the USA) and Eliana González Ugarte (in Paraguay), say that writers can submit their stories in either language. With two translators, Libia Brenda and Cristina Jurado, all accepted stories will be published in both English and Spanish.

The next reading period will be 15 December-1 January, for stories on the theme of ‘Myths and Monsters’. Submissions should be no longer than 6,400 words. The theme is open to interpretation, as long as the stories fit under the speculative fiction umbrella. Submit stories in English or Spanish.

Payment is 8¢ per word for six-month world first exclusive rights and translation rights.

Check the full guidelines for future reading period dates: the theme for issue #3 is ‘Beyond the Stars’ and for #4, ‘Love Needs No Translation’.
