Factor Four Magazine is a monthly magazine featuring flash fiction stories from the Speculative Fiction realm. We publish stories you can read on the go right here on our website. Each year we compose an annual print anthology of all of our stories that is also available in eReader forms.
What is Speculative Fiction?
Speculative Fiction is a broad term to accompany several genres. Factor Four Magazine will focus on four of these genres. Science Fiction, Fantasy, Supernatural, and Super Hero. Genre lines are very hard to define at times, so we keep things a bit fuzzy when it comes to the definition of each of those. You may even find a few stories blend several genres together.
What is Flash Fiction?
Flash Fiction is traditionally thought of to be stories that are 1,000 words or smaller. The great thing about Flash Fiction is that these are satisfying stories packaged up in a bite size format. Great to read on the commuter train, during your lunch break at work, or while waiting for soccer practice to end.
What is in each issue?
Each issue will feature around 4 flash fiction stories from the speculative fiction realms we mentioned above. We pay our authors at a professional pay rate because we want to give you high quality stories you’ll come to love. You can read them here on our website for free. Our website, especially the stories section, works very well on mobile devices.
