Submissions
For submissions, go to the Zumaya Submissions Guidelines page to know how to submit to us. Zumaya Otherworlds is looking for:
Science Fiction: Like everyone else, we're happy to have hard SF, but we don't enjoy being buried by technology. We look for SF with strong female characters, for books that address the impact of technology on society and for action tales, which nobody else seems to want. We also need YA/middle reader. And there's our growing catalog of SF noir and mysteries.
Fantasy: We're not really looking for any Lord of the Rings clones. Noir and mystery, true sword-and-sorcery in the Robert E. Howard vein but updated for modern readers, unique themes--all in both adult and YA/middle reader. In the latter case, if you have yet another "hidden prince/princess saves the world" tale, don't bother unless it has a really, really, really unique twist. Humor in both SF and fantasy is good, but not if it falls into farce.
Paranormal Suspense: Which other people call horror. The fact we choose to call it "paranormal suspense" should tell you what we look for. Slice 'n' dice isn't for us, so books with heavy body counts and lengthy lists of disconnected body parts won't make the cut.
