What is Infinitas?

Infinitas sells and distributes science fiction, fantasy and horror throughout Australia. It actively supports the Australian speculative fiction (sci-fi/fantasy/horror) industry, and encourages local writers. The Infinitas newsletter has a wide, growing readership and is published monthly. Each issue features a short story that showcases the talent of an Australian author.

What we are looking for.

Stories to fit on one A4 page (formatted dual column). This falls under the category of Flash fiction, with a limit of about 1000 words.

Your story should be able to be enjoyed by everyone, including children. We want stories that make people excited: the awe of scientific discovery, the wonder of fantasy, the heat of battle. Action, adventure, mystery, etc. If it's sci-fi or fantasy and it has character and heart, we'll consider it.

What we are not looking for.

Sex, gore, or excessive violence. Anything that infringes the copyright of, or is derived from, another work of fiction.
Stories that merely describe a scene or situation.
