What are your shipping charges and options? Go to our Customer Service/Ordering FAQ. Orders in the U.S. qualify for free Media Mail shipping. How do I contact you? Go to our Contacts page. Are you open to submissions? Unfortunately, Tachyon is not open to submissions from authors. The following queries are welcome:

Literary agents – authors, please do not query us if you represent only yourself. Artists and designers – please send links to your portfolios and recent work (no attachments). Interns – if you have any relevant interest or experience in genre/speculative fiction, we’d love to hear about it in your cover letter. Again, please no direct queries from authors. We recommend the Resources area at SFWA for comprehensive information for authors about science fiction and fantasy publishing. Are you hiring? Regrettably, we are not. I want to post your e-books for free on the Web, that’s cool, right? You already know the answer to this but here’s why it’s not ok. According to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) it is illegal to distribute copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder. If breaking the law is unimportant to you (we’ve all been there), also please consider that when you pirate e-books the authors will not be paid for their work. If you want more meaningful art in the world, please do pay for it. From a legal standpoint, we do actively monitor and report copyright violations and we also report offending sites to governmental and consumer-watchdog agencies. Tl;dr: Don’t steal from writers, k? Why “Tachyon”? A tachyon (tack-ee-on; from the Greek tachus, meaning “speedy”) is a hypothetical elementary subatomic particle that is capable of exceeding the speed of light. Tachyons would violate causality if they were proven to exist, because they could be sent to the past, creating a time paradox (like on every other episode of Star Trek). This is how we meet our deadlines here at Tachyon—first we miss them, and then we go back and meet them. Tachyons actually travel faster when they are losing energy and slow down when they are gaining energy, which is kind of a metaphor for the publishing industry, if you think about it (we try not to).

If Wishes Were Retail by Auston Habershaw

Wellspring Mall isn't quite as dead as the one in the background picture, but it's a whole lot closer than management would like to think about. It might even BE this far gone if it weren't for the unpaid, unsung, underappreciated colony of gnomes - yes, actual gnomes - who are all that's keeping the place upright.

But a down-at-heels mall is the perfect place for a genie to set up a retail kiosk selling wishes. The mall certainly needs the help, even if the genie runs afoul of both the uptight management company AND 21st century societal norms from the minute he opens his mouth.

That's what Alex Delmore is there for - to keep the genie in business long enough to fund her own way out of her dead-end town and away from her clueless but well-meaning parents.

This should be a farce. Honestly, I was expecting one. But it is OH SO NOT. Not that there aren't farcical elements - circling back to the gnomes - but the story has a surprising amount of heart under the laughs, and manages to tell a terrific story about community, self-fulfillment and appreciating what you've got before it's gone, not in spite of the laughs, but because of them.

Josh Rountree has a real knack for blending the American frontier with the grotesque and the fantastical. His last outing, The Legend of Charlie Fish, fused the dark myth of Creature from the Black Lagoon with dusty six-shooters and swinging saloon doors, twisting classic horror into Western mythos....
