Spectacular Speculations offers science fiction magazines monthly delivered to your email inbox.  The science fiction magazines are pdf files, and so can be read on any computer or offline pdf reader. We don't restrict you to a single device, once you have subscribed to our science fiction magazines, you can put the science fictional stories on any and all computers in your home, and on pdf readers or other portable devices (such as flash drives, PDAs or netbooks). As long as it is your machine, you can put a copy of your science fiction magazines on it legally. 

Spectacular Speculations has a science fiction short story to offer anyone interested in science fiction.

For readers, we offer a larger collection of science fiction stories than you might expect. Our aim is to provide all readers with at least twenty good science fiction stories in all our science fiction magazines, supplemented by several other quality science fiction works, such as poetry, song lyrics and others. Once you have a subscription with us, you'll be able to take these science fictions stories where ever you go. Since our science fiction magazines are pdf documents, not only can you read them on any computer with an acrobat capable reader, you can also print out a hard copy at your preference. Printing and binding are offered affordably at many office supply shops if you prefer a paper version of your science fiction magazines. In addition, since our magazines are electronic, with no paper costs for us, we can bring you more good science fiction stories for less money. Our prices go as low as $2.00 per science fiction and fantasy magazine. (Please note, all prices are in Canadian Dollars.) 

Although we bring a large number of science fiction stories to our readers, we only accept quality work. Stories are reviewed by a team of readers to determine if the stories are of sufficient quality to be published in our speculative fiction magazines. Our reviewers are people just like you, who also want to read good science fiction stories. We do not publish everything sent to us, only those that meet our standards.

If you are an author of science fiction stories that would like to be read by a wider audience, then we would be happy to review your work and let you know if it is acceptable for our science fiction magazines. We have reviewers do blind readings (no author information provided) so that new and established science fiction authors all have the same chances to get something published. We don't want to play favorites. If a work is rejected, we will give you reasons why and are happy to accept resubmissions. We do not require exclusive distribution rights for your work in our science fiction magazines. Once it has been published with us you are free to market your science fiction stories elsewhere. Be aware, however, that some markets will require exclusive distribution rights, and as our electronic science fiction magazines remain in 'print' permanently, once you have been published with us, you will not have exclusive rights to provide other publishers. Always make sure you know what rights a publisher is asking for. We require only distribution rights for written and audio versions of your speculative fiction stories. We do plan to add MP3 versions of all science fiction magazines as soon as possible.

If you are an artist that uses science fiction themes, we are also happy to consider your work for cover art and interior artwork. Once again, we do not require exclusive distribution rights so if you are on the cover of one of our science fiction magazines and someone contacts you about purchasing a print of that cover, you are free to provide it to them, or not as you see fit. We will not sell covers or interior artwork as separate works, and if we get requests to purchase prints of your art, we will be quite happy to forward them to you if you would like to receive them.

If you are interested in acting as a reading reviewer to help us select the best science fiction stories every month, we welcome your interest. You would be responsible for reading a certain number of stories assigned to you every month, and providing a critique of the works for the authors' benefit. We are planning to maintain a group of several good reviewers for our science fiction magazines, and each reviewer will receive a copy of any magazine they do review work on free of charge.

As you can see, Spectacular Speculations offers something for anyone interested in science fiction. So contact us for more information, or subscribe now for the best in science fiction magazines delivered to you.
