Submission Guidelines

Aphelion Webzine publishes original science-fiction, fantasy, and horror fiction, poetry, and features on the first Sunday of every month except January. Aphelion is a non-paying venue, but offers writers a chance to put their work in front of other writers and SF readers to get feedback on their work and generally improve their craft. Because Aphelion is a non-paying venue, stories published here do not count as professional publication. All copyrights are reserved to the original authors.
