New Myths has two submission periods every year:

• Winter: January 1-February 28 

• Summer: June 1-July 31

Submissions received outside the submission periods won't be read and will be deleted.

Artwork, book reviews, requests for book reviews, and other correspondence can be submitted year-round. 

NewMyths.com currently pays 3 cents/word with a minimum payment of $50 for all submissions, fiction, flash fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. 

We purchase book reviews for $50 and artwork for $80.

Payment is upon publication. 

NewMyths will not consider any submissions translated, written, developed, or assisted by AI.  Spell check and basic grammar check are fine, but do not send us any story where AI apps or generators wrote or drafted or edited any portion of its text.

NewMyths publishes only original book reviews. No reprints, please.

Reviews should be 500-1,000 words. We prefer reviews of novels published within the past year, but also consider reviews of older works, poetry collections, anthologies, and nonfiction works related to fantasy and science fiction. Pay is $50.

Send inquiries to Candy at editor@newmyths.com.

Book Review Requests

With several thousand submissions per year, our hardworking editors don’t have a lot of time to write reviews.  If you are an author, agent, or publisher and have a novel or other work related to fantasy and science fiction that you would like to have reviewed in NewMyths, the best solution is to find someone who can write a review and submit it to us for consideration.

NewMyths.com requires authors to accept a written contract. The magazine acquires first publication rights only (we are not interested in stories that have already been published elsewhere). Authors retain their copyright on all works after first publication on the NewMyths.com website. The contract is for a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to digitally archive and display the content (aka Digital Archive Rights). There may be terms related to anthologies and other matters which change from time-to-time. Please read the contract carefully before accepting it.

Simultaneous Submissions: No problem. We ask that you please indicate in your submission that your story is a simultaneous submission, and notify us as soon as possible if it has been accepted by another publication.

Responses to your submissions may take as long as six months. Feel free to send a follow-up email query if you have not received a reply before the next submission period.
