ways that families connect with their past.


COSMOS
http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/pdf/Cosmos_writers_guidelines.pdf
---
In many ways, it is a unique magazine: its discussion of
science, society, and the future might range over topics as
diverse as art, design, travel, exploration history,
philosophy and politics. It is a magazine about who we are
as a species and what we might become, our place in the world
and our future in the cosmos. While it does not seek to hide
the fact it is Australian, Cosmos is internationalist in
outlook and not overly focused on its home country.
Most of the smaller sections are in Express and are between
300 and 1,200 words in length. Payment for departments is
between A$180 and A$720 (between US$135 and US$520). There
is also a Profile section for interviews (between 2,000 and
3,000 words in length) an opinion column of about 700 words.
Cosmos welcomes travel pieces of up to 2,000 words. There are
usually five features per issue, from 1,500 words to 3,500
words in length; we will also consider a substantive article
of up 7,000 words. Payment for features ranges from A$900 to
a maximum of A$3,000 (US$650 to US$2,130).

We want to maintain a broad balance variety of stories within the steampunk genre, but we are not looking for horror or erotica.

We pay $20 dollars for a story over 2,000 words and we do not pay for shorter fiction. However, you do get a link on the site.
