AntipodeanSF is devoted to 'down under' science/speculative/fantasy/horror/surreal fiction stories of about 500-1000 words or less.
Yet while its intent is in part to highlight and promote Australian/NZ writers (who are, after all, resident in the antipodes), the meaning of antipodean is not limited by the editor to a mere description of locality. Thus AntipodeanSF is open to submissions from anywhere in the world, as long as the story has a surprise ending, twists normal notions of SF/F/H upside-down, is especially humorous, takes an oblique perspective on otherwise 'normal' events, or attempts to subvert the foundations of Western capitalist ideology (for example).
AntipodeanSF comes to you from Nambucca Heads, right in the heart of the Nambucca Valley — a prime holiday destination on the mid-north coast of NSW in Australia.
Why not consider visiting the Nambucca Valley when you next take a holiday?
Sun, surf, bush and perfect weather...
