Audio FREE Fantasy Horror Sci-Fi

shared by Sunny Jackson on 07 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Escape Pod is
  • a science fiction magazine
  • we want that which evokes a sense of wonder, or fun, or simply makes us think about our own world in a new way.
  • ...33 more annotations...
  • send fantasy stories to our other sister podcast, PodCastle
  • Please do not send simultaneous submissions of a single story to multiple Escape Artists podcasts (Escape Pod, PodCastle, and Pseudopod). When submitting to one Escape Artists podcast, please wait to hear back about it before submitting the same story to another.
  • We want short stories between about 2,000 and 6,000 words. The sweet spot’s somewhere between 3,500 and 5,000 words
  • We will buy longer, but you really have to WOW us.
  • We are closed to flash fiction as of 01/10/11.
  • We’re an audio market
  • We do not discriminate between previously published and unpublished works.
  • it doesn’t hurt us if a story has previously appeared in another market
  • we buy nonexclusive rights
  • we encourage new authors to send their work to other markets first, and then send it to us for audio rights after the story has appeared.
  • You’re welcome to give us first dibs on anything you like, but consider: if your story’s good enough for us to buy it, it’s probably good enough to sell to another market first. Why not try that, and get two audiences and two checks?
  • We’re looking for fiction with strong pacing, well-defined characters, engaging dialogue, and clear action.
  • above all we’re looking for fun.
  • Humor is highly encouraged.
  • Upbeat, optimistic stories are encouraged.
  • we may contact you with questions about the story, its background, or pronunciations
  • We accept stories in e-mail, in plain text format, at the address submit@escapepod.org.
  • we prefer plain text.
  • Send it from the e-mail address at which you want us to correspond with you
  • On the Subject: line of the message, be sure to include the title of the story.
  • we use the e-mail subject to identify the story
  • In the body of the message, what we want is as follows: 1. Your name. (Your real name. The story can have a different byline, and we’ll credit that byline in public, but we need to know who’s legally offering us this story and to whom the check should be written.) 2. Your mailing address. (We need this for contract purposes; it will be kept confidential.) 3. A cover statement briefly giving us your publication credits, and in particular telling us whether this story has been published before or adapted into audio. If there’s anything we need to know about available rights, tell us that too. This section is optional, but it’s helpful for us to have this information if we buy your story and want to know more about you for bio purposes. (Note: When we say “briefly,” we mean your top five or six publications. We have literally had people send us resumés that were longer than the story submitted. This only makes us sigh.) 4. The word count of the story, according to your word processing software. 5. The title of the story. 6. The story’s byline. (Optional if it’s the same as your legal name.) 7. The text of the story. Use single spacing, with blank lines between paragraphs and _underscores_ for emphasis.
  • one story at a time!
  • Once you’ve sent us your story, we will review it and respond to you via e-mail.
  • If we decide we’d like it for our podcast, we’ll send you a contract as a PDF file in e-mail. You will sign it and send it back to us via e-mail (after scanning it), fax, or postal mail. Then we’ll pay you via check or PayPal and start producing.
  • You can get away with breaking almost any of these rules if the story is fun enough. What’s fun? We know it when we see it.
  • cover letter
  • brief bio
  • Web site
  • we usually can’t give you an accurate timetable of when your story will appear in the podcast.
  • If the text of the work is currently available online for free, that’s great! Let us know in your cover letter so we can link to it in the web post if we publish your story.
  • The files Escape Pod produces are released under a Creative Commons license. Specifically, we use the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license. Briefly, this means that the entire world has permission to distribute the podcast for free, provided they give credit for it, don’t try to make money off of it, and don’t change it in any way.
