Aurealis is back open for submissions.  Crisetta MacLeod has been appointed our new Submissions Manager and she has assembled a large team of Readers who are aiming to ensure fast turnaround times for story submissions.  With the change in format and schedule, Aurealis will be requiring twice as many high quality stories than we have in the past.  Note that submissions to Aurealis are read blind, so all stories are read on merit, not on the author's reputation.  This makes us a market open to new and inexperienced authors, as well as to established authors.  Please, however, read through our guidelines very carefully before you submit.  Stories that don't follow them will be rejected unread.

Aurealis #46 is now available for FREE, but hurry because it won't remain free indefinitely.  Downloads are available in all e-reading formats: iPads, iPhones, Android tablets and phones, Kindles, Kobo readers, pdfs for PCs etc from Smashwords:

The next issue, Aurealis #47, will be available in February 2012.  There will be 10 monthly issues in 2012 (every month except January and December).  Aurealis subscribers will receive email information in February on how to continue to receive issues of Aurealis for free.
