Future States of Stars is set to be a captivating sci-fi/dystopian fiction anthology tailored for the Upper YA (18+), New Adult, and Adult audiences.

The organizer is seeking stories in the dystopian sci-fi genre with a Black Mirror or Twilight Zone vibe. Authors are encouraged to explore themes of the near-to-far future of states, whether set here on Earth, in space, or in other dimensions.

Submissions for Future States should be complete at 8.5k words or less and fall within the New Adult to Adult age range.

Writers must be the age of majority in their country to submit, and we welcome submissions from authors globally.

All contributing authors, both solicited and unsolicited, will be paid at the rate of 10 cents per word as per SFWA guidelines.

We are keen to encourage quality, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
