Interzone an Intro

[Roy1]

Often called IZ, Interzone is a science fiction and fantasy magazine which publishes original short (2000 to 20,000 words) science fiction and fantasy stories.

Those word limits are not hard and fast but 20K words (20% of a mid length novel these days) is an unusual acceptance. The latest issue has posted a 24k word story on the IZ website (partly because there was no space in the magazine partly to add hyperlinks to see how readers react to such web possibilities)
See it at Journey.

As a magazine it also contains illustration - usually artwork rather than photography and mostly colour, film and book reviews - often manga, TV and or radio SF interest as well - plus interviews, news and other writing with SF interest.

To sum up
IZ is Britain's leading science-fiction and fantasy magazine. Founded in 1982, it celebrates its silver anniversary now. Shortlisted for the Hugo Award (SF's equivalent of the Oscar) many years running, winning in 1995, it has kept its high reputation worldwide. Interzone appears bimonthly and contains short speculative/science fiction stories plus reviews, interviews and news. IZ is one of Britain’s leading short story showcases.

I should have said about the 25% offer above that it is for Chronicles members, it's for 12-issue subscriptions only and you should include 'chronicles' as your Shopper's Reference so we know to include your extra free issues.
