Submission status April 1

Caught up, but a slight change of plan

Sorry folks, there's still going to be a backlog. We've received an unprecedented number of submissions this month, and until I get a couple of new readers trained up, things will be running behind schedule.

Please be patient with us.

I'm frenetically busy at the moment with a number of other projects, and will be handing the slushomatic (our manuscript tracking database) back to our editor in chief until I'm back on top of things. That will mean there'll probably be no updates here for a little while, although we will be processing submissions.

This isn't an April fools :)

The usual intro

Andromeda Spaceways uses an anonymous three round submission process. If you send a submission to us, it enters round one as soon as we receive it and will be assigned a reference number. A submission moves through to round two and round three if our readers decide to bump it up the line. You can track where your submission is by checking below.

Once a submission is in round three, ASIM editors can view the story and author, and select it for their issue. Because ASIM is edited by a different person for each issue, we hold onto round three stories for three months so that all the potential editors have time to view them. If your story is accepted, it may be up to 18 months before it is published.

To submit a story to Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, see our guidelines.

Thinking of querying?

* If your story doesn't have a reference number and you sent it over a week ago, we don't have it. It may have gone missing in transit.
* If your story has a reference number, but it's not listed here, then it's probably been released. Please contact me (submissions@ ) if you didn't receive an email with this information, and I'll send you a copy from our records.
