Pitches wanted (science fiction, craft of writing, trends) (worldwide) | 10 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY WRITERS ASSOCIATION 

Were you aware you don’t have to be a SFWA member to submit to the SFWA blog? You don’t have to be in the USA either! We’re actively seeking pitches and pay $0.10/word.

The SFWA Blog is open to pitches for original nonfiction articles on topics that might be of interest to new and/or established creators of science fiction and fantasy (SFF). SFWA primarily serves SFF writers working in both short and longform prose, games, poetry, translations, and comics, so we’re interested in seeing topics relevant to those audiences. Potential topics may relate to, but are not limited to: the craft of writing, the business of writing and publishing, critical examinations of tropes in SFF, social issues in SFF, media tie-ins, writing across genres and formats, personal perspectives, career transitions, what to know about self-publishing, current trends and topics in the SFF zeitgeist, and managing multiple projects.
