HyphenPunk Magazine About Established in February of 2021, HyphenPunk is a magazine that is bringing punk to the scifi community, and bringing scifi to the punk community.Cyberpunk, steampunk, dieselpunk, solarpunk, and other -punks are vessels for letting us view the lives of the downtrodden and oppressed as they resist and create community action.Sometimes that means high action, sometimes that means deep philosophy. It always means a great story.

Collapse section Fiction Open We want to publish your speculative fiction with some type of -Punk aesthetic. Cyber-, steam-, solar-, diesel-, ray-, bio-, street-, splatter-, arcano-, nano-, or whatever else your crazed imagination can come up with. If its -Punk then it fits.We do favor fiction that puts the punk elements first. Street level people working against the systems of power in place is what we look for. We love working class or downtrodden people fighting for their place in the world. That is not to say that we won’t publish fiction about characters who work for the system or are comfortably well off, as we have, it’s just that those stories have to work a little harder to hold our attention.Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Horror Open to all/most Subgenres Science Fiction Open to all/most Subgenres, including: CyberpunkLengths: Short Story: 1,000 - 7,500 words.
