Hot off the WordPress! New Australian Spec-fic webzine, with a pitch that goes a little something like this:
“Paisley Stitchington’s Speculative Buggle is an online journal publishing fiction and “not fiction” from Australian authors. No longer will you have to go on uncomfortable journeys to the local haberdasher just to acquire an underhand copy of so-called “print books”. NO!!!
For now you will be able to READ FICTION from the comfort of your own armed chair. And possibly other locations. We have done minimal research on reading habits.
So where do you fit in?????
Paisley Stitchington’s Speculative Buggle is seeking submissions from Australian authors of science fiction, fantasy, horror, slipstream and all of their associated brethren genres and drunken uncles.
