Subscribe to the Scorched Ink newsletter to keep track of submission calls, new issues, and other news involving the magazine. (We promise not to spam you; we doubt we'll send more than one or two e-mails a month, unless it's the last two weeks before the final deadline; you may get a few reminders then.)

Scorched Ink Magazine is a print publication showcasing authors of short fiction in just about any genre, although we generally focus around sci-fi and fantasy with a distinct leaning towards darker stories.

Published bi-annually every June and December, Scorched Ink welcomes both fledgling and experienced writers. Our publication pays royalties based on a share of profits from each issue sold divided between the authors featured in the issue. If your story is chosen you will also receive a free copy of the magazine, have the opportunity to see your story in print, and can add Scorched Ink to your publication credentials. If you're interested in submitting a story, please check out our submission guidelines.

The magazine runs out of Houston, TX, and is entirely a labor of love by a few crazed editors, one of which has fuzzy ears and a tail (we kid, really). Publication and distribution of Scorched Ink are through Lulu.com print services.

Submissions for the June 2008 issue will close on May 10th, 2008.
