Pitches wanted (science fiction/fantasy, craft of writing, business/publishing, etc.) (worldwide) | 10 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SFWA BLOG 

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 on the SFF landscape outside of the Western mainstream. We pay $0.10/word.

SFWA primarily serves SF/F writers working in both short and longform prose, games, and comics, so we’re interested in seeing topics relevant to that audience. 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 SF/F, social issues in SF/F, media tie-ins, writing across genres and formats, personal perspectives, writing for games, career transitions, writing comics, publishing with a small press, what to know about self-publishing, current trends and topics in the SF/F zeitgeist, and managing multiple projects. Articles can take the form of an essay, reported piece, how-to, listicle, and Q&A.
