Heliotrope Submission Guidelines
Fiction:
Heliotrope Magazine is looking for exceptional fiction that does not exceed 5,000 words. We are most interested in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery and Horror. If your story is somewhere in between or is something you can’t label – we are interested in that as well. We pay $.10 ( 10 cents) a word for fiction. Payment will be made upon publication and in U.S. currency
Any submissions received exceeding that word count will not be considered or responded to. Please do not query us with ‘deals’ on accepting longer pieces of fiction
Poetry:
Heliotrope Magazine will publish one poem per issue. We will pay $50 for this piece (same genres of interest apply). The poem in most cases will be commissioned, thus if interested in submitting for future issues please contact Heliotropeditor@gmail.com for consideration.
Non-Fiction:
At times, articles will appear in Heliotrope but they will not be staples in each issue. If you have an interest in writing an article, we are looking for opinions of 2000 words or more. The pay rate is $90 flat. Note that most such feature slots will be commissioned - we still will accept unsolicited submissions for consideration. Feel free to query.
