Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine could be classified as a Speculative Fiction magazine. Speculative Fiction includes the genres of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, as well as the many subgenres that fit under those large umbrellas. Yet, we still refuse to be placed into that small of category. We are a "Fiction" magazine. We want stories that are good; it doesn't really matter the genre they may fit into. We want stories with good pacing, interesting characters who are put into surprising situations, engaging dialogue, clear action, etc. You know, all the stuff you've already heard in all the books and in your college classes and so forth. Additionally, we are an audio market, so the story must work well in audio. Stories that use a lot of flowery language, but don't have a lot of plot are not likely to make the cut. Humor is a plus as well. Even the most serious of stories could do with an injection of humor now and then.
