Space Squid is a sci-fi and/or humor zine that appears in primarily printed form. The printed zine costs nothing, and can be shipped within the US for a pittance. It is printed on a semi-sesquiquartely basis. We also publish samples and original content on this site for free, updated on a piecemeal basis. We're always putting up new stuff, including ongoing podcast material. Space Squid is closely related to the well-known sci-fi website RevolutionSF. In fact some rumors say that there's incestuous editor-swapping going on. Scandalous!
We accept and publish any media within our technical abilities, including but not limited to fiction, art, comics, music, spoken word, features, humor, lists, DVD commentaries, and xeroxable found objects.
Of course, we've posted our contributors guidelines. Accepted material will appear in either or both the print and web versions. Authors and artists retain all rights to their material. We are hoping to avoid bankruptcy by selling ads to sci-fi fans and people who want to reach them.
To contact us, see the contributors guidelines for our email address. Spammers scare us.
