Pay rate & Rights
We pay 5¢ per word for fiction. Authors will also receive a gratis print and ebook copy of the anthology in which their story appears.Crossed Genres takes first world ebook and print rights, and non-exclusive anthology rights for CG Magazine’s biannual anthologies. We also take non-exclusive online rights to publish and archive your story on our website.
Genres/Themes
Each month CG Magazine has a new genre or theme. Short story submissions must combine elements of either Science Fiction and/or Fantasy with the current theme. Do not send submissions to upcoming themes, they will be rejected without consideration!
Current theme (August/September 2012):
Boundaries are physical, psychological, emotional, and imaginary. Who we are can often be defined by how we respond to perceived boundaries – accept them; ignore them; sidestep them; confront them. Where do the boundaries we encounter shape the boundaries of our selves?
BOUNDARIES will be open to submissions in August & September, and will be published in January 2013. [NOTE: Submissions for the first new issue will be open for TWO months, to allow more time for authors who discover our re-launch late. Following that, all themes will be open to submissions for one month.]
