Submission Guidelines

Alien Magazine is open for nonfiction and visual art submissions year-round. We read for fiction and poetry submissions twice a year. (Dates listed below.)

We publish two electronic issues a year: one Summer/Fall and one Winter/Spring.

Our reading periods for 2023/24 are May 22 - August 5 for the Summer/Fall issue and Nov 27 - Feb 29 for the Winter/Spring issue.

We pay a $20 honorarium for each written piece and art collection we publish.
