HEXFILED SF Magazine

Rolling submissions are open for short fiction of 1,000–10,000 words and novelettes of 10,001–17,500 words. HEXFILED seeks biological SF, ecological futures, post-human consciousness, weird and slipstream fiction, military SF, and thoughtfully imagined science; it is less interested in chosen-one narratives and portal fantasy. Reprints are considered case by case.

Rolling submissions are open for flash fiction under 1,000 words. HEXFILED seeks speculative work in which the speculative element shapes the story’s infrastructure, with strong character interiority and emotional resonance. Reprints are considered case by case.

Rolling submissions are open for speculative nonfiction and creative essays of 500–5,000 words. Essays should engage biological, artificial, or speculative themes as genuine intellectual inquiry; hybrid and lyric forms are welcome.

Rolling submissions are open for Parallel Biome archival artifacts of 1,000–3,000 words, including field reports, intercepted transmissions, recovered documents, environmental samples, technical schematics, medical records, and surveillance transcripts. Submissions should read like recovered documentation rather than traditional narrative fiction and may be serialized.

Rolling submissions are open for speculative poetry of any length, with no more than five poems per submission. Poetry may use the submitter’s preferred house style.
