*The S/F/H Issue Submission Period begins April 30, 2010 at 12:01AM EST and ends August 31, 2010 at 11:59PM EST.* Submissions received outside of this period will be deleted unread. The S/F/H issue will be published October 31, 2010.

S/F/H ISSUE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Last Updated 5-2-2010
All submissions must be 1,000 words or less. There is no minimum word count, but our upper limit is set in stone.
All submissions should be sent either in the body of your email or as a .doc/.rtf document to this email address: sfh(at)wingedhalo(dot)com. Do NOT send .docx documents - we cannot open them. Submissions sent to our regular submissions email address will not be considered for the special S/F/H issue. If you are pasting your submission into the body of your email, please use plain text without any special formatting. A garbled submission is a pain to read and is easy to avoid.
Include your legal name, your name as you want it published, your email address and a short biography to be published with your story. You may also include a link to your personal website. Submissions without this information may be rejected upon receipt, even if we've published your work before.
Please have the words "SFH SUBMISSION" in your subject, as well as your story's title. Emails received without the proper subject will be deleted as junk mail.
Please tell us if your submission is a reprint. We do consider reprints for publication, as long as the author discloses where the story was previously published and assures us that they retain all rights to the story. If you do not tell us your submission is a reprint and we see it published elsewhere (regardless of how long ago it was) your story will be rejected.
REGARDING SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS: We WILL NOT accept simultaneous submissions. We don't want to reserve a slot for your story, only to have you pull it for publication elsewhere. Some stories may be held for voting, which will not be held until September 15, 2010, so you may not hear back on whether or not we've accepted your story until the end of September. Please do not submit your story elsewhere until we notify you we are declining your story.
PAYMENT
We are a paying market. All published stories will receive twenty-five dollars ($25) US via PayPal, plus a year's subscription to Flash Me Magazine.
Our Feature Story winner will receive an additional twenty-five dollars ($25), for a total of fifty dollars ($50) US via PayPal. That means Feature Stories are guaranteed professional rates of at least five cents ($0.05) per word.
