Lightspeed Magazine

There is another pro market out there starting Jan 1. This one is edited by the Slush God J.J. Adams. He is leaving F&SF and helping to start this zine. It pays pro rates of 5 cents a word (About $200 for one of my average stories). It will publish 4 stories a month from slush and probably receive about 10,000 submissions a year so the odds are slightly better than the other pro print zines.

The good news is that it accepts electronic submissions. I will submit my first story on January 1st and we’ll see if all of writers can bring down the site with our traffic.

The website is just godawful. They need a better design, but I suppose they just threw this one up as a holding place while they get to work on the real site.
