Ellen Datlow's Writer's Tips and Guidelines OMNI Fiction Writer's Guidelines O MNI Magazine now publishes exclusively on-line. However, our guidelines have not changed much.
Characterization is crucial.
And since many of our readers are not familiar with technical jargon, the stories must be written in clear, understandable prose. It is impossible for us to judge a story's quality without seeing the complete manuscript. If you have a story you think fits our requirements, submit it for consideration. For an idea of the kinds of stories we publish, read some recent issues of OMNI or check through our website. And we do not accept unsolicited poetry or simultaneous submissions.
