Abyss & Apex
http://www.klio.net/byrenlee/abyssandapex/

The mission of Abyss & Apex is to publish the finest in speculative and imaginative fiction, with special attention to character-driven stories that examine the depths and heights of human motivation. We are looking for stories that leave us gasping, dizzy, and perhaps momentarily changed. Stories with voice and presence -- and power.

We want strong fantasy, magic realism, science fiction, and especially those genrebending stories that don't quite seem to fit anywhere. Our tastes span the gamut from classical, Golden-Age SF to modern nontraditional formats. We don't mind experimental styles. We are, however, discriminating. And opinionated.

Length - up to 10,000 words
Payment - .03 cents per word to a max. of $40

Strange Horizons
http://www.strangehorizons.com
We're looking for high-quality stories that explore both the possible and the impossible: stories about human and nonhuman experience, about reality and dreams, about the here-and-now and otherwhere-and-elsewhen.
We want stories that have some literary depth but aren't boring; styles that are unusual yet readable; structures that balance inventiveness with traditional narrative. We like characters we can care about. We like settings and cultures that we don't see all the time in speculative fiction.
We like fantasy (especially urban fantasy). Dark fantasy is fine, but we're not looking for outright horror. We like magic realism, "slipstream," and even a dash of the surreal now and then, as long as it's readable.
We also like science fiction, as long as it involves three-dimensional characters and interesting stories, not just science puzzles. We will consider submissions up to 9000 words, but we strongly prefer stories under 5000 words. We pay 4 cents/word.
We buy first-printing world exclusive rights for two months.
