Independent Science Fiction and Speculative Culture Newspaper
Alienaward PressBuenos Aires · Independently edited · Weekly columns and dispatches
Most messages reach us in better shape when the sender has already gathered a few things. Nothing below is a rule you have to satisfy. It is simply what helps a pitch, a correction, or a letter get read properly instead of bouncing around the desk.
A review pitch usually works as a short paragraph: the book or film, why it belongs in the paper now, and roughly how long you imagine the piece. Long-form criticism can run several thousand words; a correction is often two lines. Send plain text in the body of the message rather than a document, and keep the subject line specific.
Weekly columns close earlier than essays, and convention dispatches are tied to the event calendar. If your piece depends on a release date or a fair, say so in the first sentence. There is no fixed deadline we can promise you here, and no reply schedule attached to this form.
For reviews, name the edition and the translator if there is one. For corrections, quote the sentence and the issue it appeared in. For letters intended for the letters section, note that contributors edit that page by hand, so a submission may be selected, shortened, or held for a later installment.
If you are sending images of a zine table, a print run, or a cover in progress, describe what the picture shows and who took it. We cannot accept files through this form, so mention what you have and we will say whether it is worth sending another way.
Close with the outcome you are after: a review assignment, a correction noted, a letter considered for print. Being plain about that saves everyone a round of guessing.
One form reaches the editors. Use it for a review pitch, a correction to something we published, or a letter meant for the letters page.

Alienaward Press keeps one mailing address and one inbox for reader correspondence. Pitches, corrections, and letters all arrive the same way, and the letters section is read and selected by contributors rather than by software.
The address above is a mailing address for correspondence only. We do not describe it as a place to visit, and nothing here should be read as an invitation to stop by. For pitches, corrections, or letters to the editor, use the form on this page.
Alienaward Press keeps one inbox for correspondence: pitches for reviews, corrections to something we published, and letters meant for the letters page.
