Haven Spec is a speculative fiction magazine featuring stories for a 21st century audience. We love stories with a sense of adventure, stories that teach us, that touch us, that leave us wanting more. We publish six issues every year, two of which (the DRY Issue and the WET Issue) are focused exclusively on the climate crisis and themes of displacement (very broadly defined).
In other words, this is a specialist venue for ecological fiction. All of the stories they publish are free to read online, and many of them are quite interesting.
The maximum length for stories is 6,000 words. Submissions are open to "everyone" every other month, while submissions are always open for "minorities."
My thoughts on identifying as a "minority" are complicated. It feels shitty to make yourself vulnerable to a panel of editors by forcing yourself to inhabit aspects of your identity that you wish didn't define you... and then still be rejected. But what can you do.
