Guidelines

Want to send some of your writing to infinity plus? I suggest you think very carefully before you try.

Our aim at infinity plus is to introduce readers to a range of writers they might not otherwise have encountered. That doesn't necessarily exclude new writers, but it should make you think twice before sending us your original pieces of fiction. If you're a new short story writer, you really need to break into the magazines and anthologies; if you're an unpublished novelist you need to find yourself a publisher. Infinity plus is a collective home page; it's not, as such, a market for new writers.

Having said that, we're open to suggestions and persuasion. Contact us if you really think we can be convinced.

Wherever you're submitting, you need to follow the established rules of the game (return postage, standard manuscript layout, etc). It might look boring, but a double-spaced, left-justified, Courier manuscript shows an editor that you've taken the trouble to present your work in a form that's easy for them to deal with. It makes you look professional, and that's very important. For comprehensive guidance on manuscript preparation, take a look at how the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America say you should do it.

Finally, some words of advice: stick with it! There are lots of fine writers out there who never quite see things through. Professional writers write. And then they write some more. And some more. And ... I'm sure you get the picture by now. Best of luck!
