About
BLACK GATE Magazine
Black Gate was founded in 2000,
and is one of today’s leading fantasy magazines. We welcome many brands
of speculative fiction, and actively seek a kind of story we feel is
often neglected in today’s short fiction market. A quote from Sherwood
Smith, reviewing Black Gate for
SFSite,
lets you in on our preferences:
For the most
part, adventure fantasy is not known for complex characterization or
skillful prose.... Black Gate has sharpened its focus on these two
elements of good fiction, while never abandoning the brisk pacing,
imagination, and swashbuckling fun, strangeness, or horror one expects
in an adventure tale.
For more information, see our
submissions guidelines (please note that we are
currently closed to unsolicited submissions).
Black Gate also is the home to a
growing number of articles, essays, reviews, and interviews EXCLUSIVE to
this web site. This content does not appear in the magazine itself, but you
can find it here for free, with new content added every Sunday night.
Once you’ve looked around, feel
free to drop by the
Black Gate Newsgroup for a
chat with other readers, writers, and editors, or the
Black Gate blog to check on
submissions, issue updates, magazine plans, and other Black Gate
matters.
Welcome aboard, and thanks for
visiting.
