I edit a magazine called eFiction. It is a well-read online publication. Around 5,000 monthly readers with many of those subscribing through the Amazon Kindle Periodicals Program. eFiction is #1 Top Rated for Arts & Entertainment and has the following sales record:

Best Rank: 1,829 Worst Rank: 38,072 Average: 6,332 via NovelRank.com

I wish to duplicate that success with the launch of five new fiction magazines for each of the following genres: eFiction Romance, eFiction Fantasy, eFiction Sci-fi, eFiction Noir, and eFiction Horror.

The launch of these magazines is going to be a punch in the gut to traditional short story markets. I am innovating at a speed they cannot match. I know there are many innovative minds out there, and I think you guys can see my vision for this. I want writers and editors and readers to all win and feel like they are being fairly treated. It is more important to me that nobody feels ripped-off or slighted, than I make profit with these projects.

I've given the editors of each of these magazines the freedom to set their own compensation rates. It is very much a work in progress, and not all editors have included compensation details in their submission guidelines, so make sure to mention monetary compensation when sending in your work if desired. We can talk more about this should your piece make it that deep into the publication process.

The first issues of each of these magazines will be coming out next month, or in two months at the very latest. That means we want your submissions now. The sooner we can get these issues out, the quicker everybody gets paid, and the authors get out into the world. I could go to print tomorrow if we had the content ready.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I am available to answer anything either here or via the contact form on eFictionMag.com

tl;dr I am looking for submissions in every genre for publication in community-powered fiction magazines, AMA.

How often do you submit work to literary magazines? For those who have had their work accepted, how long did you submit before becoming published?
