Betascape Magazine Gold Star Program Gold Star We are an open-market publication welcoming everything from Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Action-Adventure to Mystery, Suspense, and General/Literary fiction.Please review our full submission guidelines at betascapemagazine.com/submissions before uploading.At Betascape Magazine™, our focus is strictly on narrative structure, compelling execution, and the pure craft of storytelling. We are entirely independent and decoupled from specific ideological or political agendas. We welcome any worldview or perspective, provided the text is a fully realized story centered on deep character development and genuine dramatic stakes. We do not accept material that functions primarily as a delivery vehicle for heavy-handed message-pushing or transparent political propaganda from any side of the spectrum. Let the story speak for itself. Additionally, please note that we do not accept stories containing gratuitous sex, explicit erotica, or excessive, shock-value violence.Because every accepted piece of fiction features a transparent layer of developmental critique and inline commentary, we seek contributors who are excited about exploring the creative process in public. Our editorial approach is balanced, candid, and constructive—meaning we aren’t afraid to highlight where a scene stretches thin or a structural choice misses the mark, but we will always be cool, fair, and professional about how we deliver that feedback.Quick Links to Open Calls: General Submission (Free + Tip Jar) Free Fast-Track Submission (7-Day Response) Fee: usd $10.00 Feedback + Fast-Track (7-Day Response) Fee: usd $15.00Cover Art FreeEditorial Cartoons Free General Submission (Free + Tip Jar) Free Tip Jar Option OpenPlease review our full submission guidelines at betascapemagazine.com/submissions before uploading.A Note on Tips: Optional contributions are non-refundable tokens of support.
