Submissions are OPEN until May 1st, 2025
For now, most our stories and articles are classic, public domain, or open source. However, we hope to open submissions for new and original stories shortly.
We are open for submissions for the months of January, April, July, and October.
WE ARE CURRENTLY A NON-PAYING MARKET
Although we hope that will change with time and support.
Submission Guidelines
- What We Accept: unpublished speculative fiction short stories, flash fiction, and original art.
- Language: English.
- Word Count: We have no lower limit on word counts, but prefer stories no longer than 10,000.
- Response Time: We aim to respond to every submission within 30 days. However, please query if you’ve not received a response within 90 days.
What We’re Looking For
As a speculative fiction magazine, we’re looking for a broad range of genres. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Science fiction of all flavors
- Weird fiction
- Cosmic horror
- Supernatural or paranormal horror
- Superhero
- Fantasy, especially of the darker variety
- Exciting or topical non fiction science articles
While these are our preferences, we’ll entertain most stories that offer something outside the commonplace of real life.
Beyond genre, we’re interested in compelling characters, exciting or intriguing conflicts, and well crafted narratives. Experimental fiction is welcome, provided it conforms to these guidelines.
When it comes to science fact articles, we prefer topics that are compelling and/or topical.
Perseid Prophecies believes in the value of diverse points of views in fiction. We encourage authors of every every kind, including those who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ to share the fruits of their imagination with us.
What We DON’T Want
We only accept original, unpublished work; neither reprints nor fan-fiction are accepted at this time.
While many of our preferred genres can venture into some fairly dark or graphic territory, we are not interested in extreme violence, gore, or SA. Please avoid excessive descriptions of such.
We do not publish erotica, however some spice is not out of the question.
Perseid Prophecies will not, under any circumstances, consider any story or art submissions assisted, developed, or created by artificial intelligence (“AI”).

Cover Letter: A brief cover letter is appreciated. Please include your bio, any publishing credits, and any expertise that may pertain to your story, art, or science article.
Compensation & Rights
Unfortunately, we cannot compensate writer or artists for their work at this time. We hope to change this as we grow.
If accepted for publication, we ask for exclusive license to publish for a term of six months. After the 6 month term, the license becomes non-exclusive and creators may publish their work elsewhere. A license agreement outlining all details will be provided upon acceptance.
