Compelling Science Fiction Short Stories
Flame Tree Publishing




Description
Note: it's not entirely clear whether this is a continuation of the original Compelling Science Fiction magazine or not, but because Compelling Science Fiction magazine made an announcement they were closing and then made an announcement that they would be reopening under Flame Tree Publishing, we felt there was reason to shift the existing Compelling Science Fiction listing over to Flame Tree rather than create a new listing entirely.

The Compelling Science Fiction Short Stories collection is looking for new tales which are on the more plausible end of the SF spectrum. Time can be stretched, other worlds discovered, aliens can be present and quantum realms can be explored, but preferably all with a strong spine of internal self-consistency and dose of real-world science.


This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
  • It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
  • The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
  • The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
  • The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
