WHAT IS PLANET MAGAZINE?
Planet Magazine
is, believe it or not, a free quarterly (or thirdly) of science fiction,fantasy, horror, poetry, and humor written by beginning or little-known writers, whomwe hope to encourage in their pursuit of the perfect story.
Planet
is nationallydistributed in electronic form via American Online, CompuServe, Acorn, and NVN, as wellas in printed form via the editor and his pals. Feel free to pass this magazine along, in anunaltered state, electronically or as a printout. We welcome submissions (read below fordetails on this and other matters). Send any questions or comments to PlanetMag@aol.com.
SUBMISSIONS POLICY
Planet Magazine
accepts short stories, poems, one-act plays, and odds-and-ends (usethe lengths in this issue as guidelines). We prefer original, unpublished SF, fantasy,horror, poetry, humor, etc., by beginning or little-known writers (but no porno, gore, orads from immigration lawyers, please). Because this e-mag is free and operates on abudget of $0.39 per annum, we can't afford to pay anything except the currency of freepublicity and life-enhancing good vibes (of course, that and $2.50 will get you adouble-tall cafe mocha with powdered mesquite ash, but it's still a head rush to see yourname in print). To send a submission: query first, whatever that means, then send storiesor poems as Stuffit- or ZipIt-compressed ASCII text files to PlanetMag@aol.com.

Internet
site for this magazine exists yet, but we haven't tried very hard to findone. Still, we're open to suggestions.The text file takes a few minutes to download at 2400 baud.
