Dear friends of speculative philosophy,
thanks to the generous support of our readers, donors and volunteer crew, the ship of Sci Phi sails off valiantly into its 12th year – and we’re looking for your best SF stories with a philosophical bend to fill our pages.
As always, we seek idea-dense original fiction of maximum 2k words, no reprints, at the semi-pro pay rate of 3 euro cents per work. (Note that we filter for and do not accept any AI-generated content.) Please read our Submission Guidelines carefully, and if in doubt, take a look at works we had previously published.
You are most welcome to send in your tales via Duosuma by Thursday 12th February 2026. (Apologies, we’re unable to handle email submissions.)
We’re looking forward to reading your ideas about the future, alternate presents or pasts that could have been!
PS: To clarify, the link to send in your submission is https://duotrope.com/duosuma/submit/sci-phi-journal-v1BL8

** 2026 Fundraiser: Sci Phi Journal is volunteer-run, ad-free, AI-free, and pays human authors of niche, handcrafted fiction. We rely on donations to keep philosophical sci-fi free to read in 2026 and beyond. If every reader were to donate just a single euro/dollar once a year, we could buy more stories and commission translations. It is your generous support that got us this far. Thank you ✿(◠‿◠) **
