What We Publish
Selene Quarterly Magazine is a speculative romance, mystery, and alternate history periodical launched in 2017. We seek stories that blend luminous adventure with vivid passion — work that pushes genre boundaries while remaining grounded in strong character-driven narratives.
Genres
- Speculative Romance — love stories with fantastical, futuristic, or supernatural elements
- Mystery — whodunits, noir, and suspense with speculative twists
- Alternate History — reimagined pasts, divergent timelines, and what-if scenarios
Formats
- Short stories (see current guidelines for word-count ranges)
- Poetry
- Illustrations and cover art
Payment & Rights
All contributors receive payment and a free digital copy (.epub or .mobi for Kindle™) of their issue. Archives remain online, with each issue releasing publicly three months after publication.
Market Standing
Since 2019, Selene Quarterly Magazine has been a semi-pro qualifying market for the SFWA, HWA, and MWA. Work published here may count toward membership eligibility in those organizations.
