About

Sybil's Garage accepts all works of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, slipstream, etc.). We also will accept stories with little or no speculative element, but with speculative tendencies (e.g. weird but not-necessarily supernatural.) In addition, we are very interested in seeing stories written by and/or including varied ethnicities, social classes, and nationalities. We'd like to see more stories featuring under-utilized cultures and settings as well. Our editors and readers represent a variety of backgrounds and we're always working to ensure that our publication reflects that as well.
