New Maps

Accepts deindustrial fiction set on real Earth and addressing resource depletion, environmental damage, and hard limits on mitigation. Stories may include plausible metaphysical, supernatural, or paranormal elements; generic speculative, utopian, dystopian, postindustrial, postapocalyptic, and traditional spacefaring science fiction are generally unsuitable. No hard minimum or maximum, but stories over 10,000 words are rarely published; outstanding novella-length stories may be serialized. Submissions are open year-round on a rolling basis.
