Is your stuff of professional quality or amateur?

Short format or novel length?

 

The leading US publisher of military SF is Baen Publications, so you could try them; easily googled.

 

 There is forum section within the website for amateur submissions. Search for Baen's Bar. Stories can be posted there and will be critiqued by the regular readership.

 

 

Short stories it is. To begin with. But maybe I can try my hand at the abovementioned thread on the forum first, a thread for mil-sf. Great fun!

I'm just a beginner, a fledgeling of sorts, so I'll keep my cover for a while. Lampros it is. But when/if I get something published, I'll let you know.

I'm also busy promoting my writing career in swedish, and that's only in its beginnings too. But I like the prospect of the english speaking market, with loads of magazines as potential purchasers. In Sweden we have about one (1) sf-mag, and as for novels the sf-market is stone-dead.

Oh well. Concerning military sf as a phenomenon, it surely has gotten off the ground since, say, the 80's. By then it was a dejected subgenre hated by all snobs, now it's fairly main-stream, in an sf-context so to speak. So "allons-y, allons-en" with the whole arsenal of FAE:s, lasers, electron beam weapons, Q-bombs and stuff, bombing planets from space with directed asteroids and space junk, and landing the infantry in its wake to secure and conquer, divide and rule, seek and destroy, improvise, adapt, overcome and anticipate...

A word of advice. From your description of the kind of stories that you want to write, you are wasting your time submitting to Analog, Asimov's or F & SF, the leading 3 US SF mags.

 

I have been a subscriber of all three for 30+ years and they just don't publish the kind of military sf that you will write.
