Environmental HOLOCAUST
Major changes have been made to these guidelines. Please be sure to read them!
This title will once again be a zine, with the publication of our next issue being in June of 2026.
We are looking for stories about the future if the environment continues to decay. For the most part, we want stories that look at the grim aspects of our environmental future, but we will also consider stories that look at us overcoming our difficulties and creating a better planet.
RESPONSE TIMES
Our current response time is two months. If you change your e-mail address, please let me know. There are always a few submissions that never get responses because the contributor changes their address.
FICTION
Fiction must be science fiction, and it must follow the basic guidelines. We're looking for stories of at least 2,500 words. No simultaneous submissions. Reprints will be considered, but they will be a difficult sale.
FICTION PAYMENTS
Payment for first rights will be $25 on publication.
Payment for reprints will be $10 on publication.
All payments will be made via PayPal, so authors must have a valid PayPal address. Each author will receive one print copy, which will be shipped from Amazon, so every author must also have a valid shipping address.
This is small press, so we don't expect to sell tons of copies, but if the zine is able to sell more than 500 copies (print and electronic combined, but not including authors' copies), we will pay an additional $10 for each story.
FORMATS
All submissions must be sent as attachments in rtf or Word. Send them to editor (at) nomadicdeliriumpress (dot) com. You can figure out the address we're sure. We're just tired of spam. Every submission must contain the words "Ecotastrophe Submission" in its subject line, or it will be flushed with all of the spam. I hate to start getting anal, but given the amount of Spam I have to sift through, it just makes my job easier, and a happy editor is always a good thing. Also, all submissions must follow standard ms guidelines...if you don't know what that means, please find out. Your name, byline, and address MUST appear on the submission. All submissions MUST have page numbers. If you want something italicized, please italicize it in the submission. Also, please include a bio with your submission written in the third person.
FINAL NOTES
All works must be completely original. We will not consider any stories that are AI created or AI assisted. We do not want to see anything that AI has been involved in, so don't send it here!
Don't send work that is based in other people's universes. All works must be original with no threat of copyright infringement.
