hot off the wire*, I saw that the Future Fire magazine is seeking submissions for an upcoming issue dedicated to feminist sf.
… for the readers among us, it’ll be coming out in the next year or so; for the writers among us, they’re seeking submissions. (under 10,000 words, no word on the deadline, use common fonts only & only italics for formatting, send submissions as attachments to fiction-at-futurefire-dot-net with email subject line: TFF submission: Surname, ‘Title’. Full guidelines are at futurefire.net
Call for submissions for themed issue of The Future Fire magazine
The Future Fire magazine is looking for submissions for a Feminist Science Fiction themed issue to be published towards the end of this year or beginning of the next. They are looking for “science fiction (or speculative) stories that address issues of gender, sexual identity and sexuality; stories that take the “radical idea that women are human beings” and do something about it; stories that can engage, empower, educate, and inspire men and women alike. And of course stories that challenge our expectations, that avoid cliché, that are beautiful and useful, that are social, political, and speculative cyberfiction.”
* and by “the wire”, I mean “Google”, which pointed me to ian sales’ kind posting of the notice at the sheffield sf writers blog.

Thanks for posting this! It occurs to me to clarify a point about the deadline, since we’ve been asked a couple of times. While the special Feminist SF issue of TFF will probably be our first 2010 issue, so we’ll keep reading for it until the end of this year, there will never come a time when stories with a feminist angle will not be welcome at The Future Fire.
