Since its launch in 1930, Analog (first published as Astounding) has been home to the most notable authors in science fiction, as well as to the writers of outstanding science-fact articles, book reviews, editorials, op-ed pieces, the creators of provocative cover art, and more.

Analog uses an online submissions system—we do not accept email submissions. Please see Manuscript Guidelines for information about paper submissions.

Our online submissions form for fiction asks for your name, email address, cover letter, story title, and story. Your cover letter should contain the length of your story, your publishing history, and any other relevant information (e.g., if you send us a story about a medical disaster and you happen to be an emergency room nurse, mention that). We ask for the same information for poetry. Please include up to six poems in one submission for poetry, and wait until you have heard back on those before sending us more.
