Matter Of The Imagination is a nonprofit, local Montana science fiction and fantasy magazine. We are looking for writers and illustrators in the Montana area interested in getting their work published locally. Be aware that this is a new project and so we have no estimation for how much we can pay those who’s works are accepted, as it depends entirely on how many interested sponsors we can find. We will try our best to pay as much as we can, but remember that the amount will likely be small
The first edition was published in December 2025, and the second will follow in May 2026. Issues are available as physical copies, as well as viewable in their entirety on this website for free
WE ARE INTERESTED IN PUBLISHING:
- Visual artwork (Cover art as well as internal art)
- Short stories under 14,000 words
- Creative science nonfiction
- Relevant photography
- Essays and narrative nonfiction related to SFF
- Reviews
- SFF poetry
- Interviews with authors, directors, artists, bookstores, publishers, etc.
- Logo design
All submissions must be related in some way to Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Science, or a related genre (e.g. cosmic horror)
If your work does not fall under these categories but you think we might be interested, submit it anyways and include your reasoning in a note
