Alien Magazine - Fiction (Poetry) (Nonfiction)



Description
For fiction we want your best. We are open to all types of stories. We are specifically interested in pieces that explore non-traditional narratives, though we still enjoy traditional ones that have a bit of a twist. We also have a soft spot for stories where characters learn a life lesson and where the plot has a greater context of the world at-large. However, all of these guidelines are just suggestions. We do not want to inhibit your creativity. We want you to write what you want, what you think about all of the time, what you just thought about and is the best idea ever, what shocks you, what scares you, what soothes you, and then submit that.
