Message From The Founder

Welcome to Sci-Fi Almanac, a community press for short stories and graphic novels, publishing the winners of our FREE online contest. To enter, create an account and...

Writers, post at least 1 short story or project in your Blog, 7,000 words max, edited at your best. It must be sci-fi or hybrid (e.g., comics superheroes). More at For Writers.

Artists, illustrate any story you like, co-work with any writer or just post generic sci-fi art and comic strips in Photos, at minimum 800x600pix, 1MB max. More at For Artists.

Deadline: August 20th each year. Prize: FREE publicity and lots of exposure! All nominations will be announced at Contest Winners and juried after deadline.

BASIC RULES & CONDITIONS:
1. Submit only work that is your copyrightcreative commons or public domain.
2. Submit as many works as you wish, as long as they are sci-fi or sub-genres.
3. All work must be T for Teens: no cussing, racism, gore, explicit content, etc.
4. You are sponsored with a 100-mb profile to display personal work or projects.
5. Comment on people's work, encourage one another, make friends, be nice.
6. Contact anyone for co-writing, co-publishing, art collabs, reviews, etc. No spam!
7. If you want to discuss something, post it in Forum (keep it civil and be just).
8. If there are no 12 winners, we might skip an issue and publish you standalone.
9. All empty accounts will be deleted after 1 month of inactivity to save server space.
10. We are a member-supported community, so be as proactive as you wish!

Note: Anyone can self-publish or go for "vanity press," but not everyone can win a public contest and become an award-winner. To win FREE publicity, post your best work (we do not seek contributions but highly competitive stuff). Certain exceptional submissions can be published standalone, without deadline, for which writers/illustrators will receive 50% profit. If you wish to support our cause, buy our printed books at Amazon.com. If you're just a sci-fi fan and you don't want to compete, join our Facebook Club. If you have any questions or suggestions, contact our moderator Lee Jackson (writer/editor).

Godspeed!

Yes, this sci-fi sub opens up like a pontoon bridge to become a small aircraft carrier for repairs, refuel, etc. It can easily reach any place at any time, much faster than the gigantic super-carriers, which can't remain unnoticed. This one is…
