Subject: Announcement - SF in Nature and Nature Physics
Futures is the award-winning science-fiction section of Nature, now currently running in Nature's monthly sister title, Nature Physics.
In response to public demand, Futures will be returning to Naturein September 2007as a weekly back-page feature, as well ascontinuing each month in Nature Physics. The Futures column in eachjournal will forge its own identity: a story in one journal willnot be reprinted in the other, although authors are free to expressa preference and choose for which journal their story should beconsidered.
Although contributions are sometimes commissioned, unsolicitedstories are welcome for both journals. Each story should be anentirely fictional, self-contained piece between 850-950 words inlength, and the genre should, broadly speaking, be 'hard' (that is,'scientific' SF) rather than, say, outright fantasy, slipstream orhorror.
Each item should be sent as a Word (.doc) attachment to futures@xxxxxxxxxx, giving full contact details along with a brief (approximately 30-word) autobiographical squib that could beappended to the story if published. Unsolicited artwork is notconsidered. Presubmission enquiries are discouraged: instead,prospective authors are advised to read earlier Futures stories inNature, Nature Physics and selected examples available for free at http://www.concatenation.org/futuresindex.html.
Authors whose stories are published in Nature or Nature Physicswill be paid at the same rate irrespective of journal. The paymentis commensurate with the brevity of the stories and is probablyenough for a meal for two (with wine) at an establishment whosemodesty will correlate either directly or inversely with thecurrent sterling-dollar exchange rate, depending on the location ofthe restaurant. Publication is also subject to signature of aNature Publishing Group author agreement, terms of which are oftennegotiable, and specimens of which can be seen on request.
Should you have read as far as this, you might be interested tolearn that Futures from Nature, an anthology of 100 past Futuresstories, will be published by Tor this November, and can now beordered from any reputable online bookstore.
This is a public announcement which you are encouraged todisseminate as widely as you see fit. 

Yours faithfully

Henry Gee
