• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

It's been a while since I've done much short story submitting. Since my last flurry of submissions, I've been working on a bunch of cli-fi stories. Ultimately, I'll publish them as a collection, but I'd like to shop them around to magazines first. BUT it's a tough sell--cli-fi doesn't necessarily fit the neat and tidy speculative fiction categories. Anyone know of magazines or e-zines focusing on cli-fi (or open to cli-fi)? I've only found one that specifically mentions it.
 
I've seen it written about, but not requested by publishing houses, agents, or zines. However, it is at the beginning of a wave, so getting in now with the sci-fi publishers (using second category, perhaps) may get you in. Most of what I've seen is in post-apocalyptic and dystopian sf. Check out the most likely key words on Amazon to see if there's a publisher who takes them on.
Luck!
