[Writingworkshop] Nature submission

[Adam Holland]

Here's what he sent to me.  Here's some examples of stuff that made
it<http://www.concatenation.org/futuresindex.html>

AH


*Futures* is the award-winning science-fiction section of *Nature*, now also
running in *Nature'*s monthly sister title, *Nature Physics*. The
*Futures*column in each journal will forge its own identity: a story
in one journal
will not be reprinted in the other, although authors are free to express a
preference and choose for which journal their story should be considered.



Although contributions are sometimes commissioned, unsolicited stories are
welcome for both journals. Each story should be an entirely fictional,
self-contained piece between 850-950 words in length, and the genre should,
broadly speaking, be 'hard' (that is, 'scientific' SF) rather than, say,
outright fantasy, slipstream or horror.



Each item should be sent as a Word (.doc) attachment to *futures at nature.com*,
giving full contact details along with a brief (approximately 30-word)
autobiographical squib that could be appended to the story if published.
Only one story per author, per journal will be considered at any one time.
Unsolicited artwork is not considered. Presubmission enquiries are
discouraged: instead, prospective authors are advised to read earlier *
Futures* stories in *Nature*, *Nature Physics *and selected examples
available for free at http://www.concatenation.org/futuresindex.html.



In the event that the Article is published in *Nature* or *Nature Physics* a
fee of £85 or $130 will be payable, within 4 weeks of
publication.Publication is also subject to signature of a Nature
Publishing Group author
agreement, terms of which are often negotiable, and specimens of which can
be seen on request.

When copies are free, you need to sell things which can not be copied.
