IWW Members' Publishing Successes For The Week Ending 1/30/22

Amita Basu

My 3,000-word short story "The Why and the How," Critiqued in two rounds on Fiction some months ago, has been accepted for publication at Bewildering Stories. It will be out in a couple of months.

Bewildering Stories publishes a wide variety of speculative fiction. They don't pay, but the editors work closely with writers to edit accepted subs; they also work with almost-there subs.

They've previously published my novelette "Zeus and His Things," a humorous take on the history of science using the Greek pantheon. If anyone's looking to get practice in the speculative genre, this is a good magazine to work with to find your feet.

Bewildering Stories accepts a wide variety of lengths from flash to novels, which they serialise in their weekly issues. The website also has excellent articles on writing, including topics like punctuation and choosing titles.

Thank you to everyone at Fiction who critiqued "The Why and the How!"
