General Submission Guidelines

Astounding Publications

Welcome to the second golden age of pulp fiction. At the Astounding Outpost, we love pulp fiction and we love new writers, because of that we are establishing the Astounding Outpost presents series.

We want well-written plot-driven stories, both new, and reprints are welcome. We aren’t trying to create high art, not that there’s anything wrong with that, we are trying to create pulp, like Tarzan, or Conan, or John Carter. Fun stories readers can escape into. While the Golden age of pulp was male-dominated, your stories and the second Golden age don’t have to be. We will consider any gender, race, class, creed, on equal footing.
