Want to showcase your time travel stories with a chance of royalties? We are looking to publish the best time travel stories of all time!
Time Traveler's Digest is a new short story and novel submission site for science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction writers. It is the world's first magazine called TEMPORAL VISIONS, dedicated to the minds that spend hours thinking about how they could travel through time.
We ask that you not submit your work unless you fall into one of the categories listed above. We believe this is fair because we are taking up space from someone else who would be better suited to write an article about their own experience.
If you're eager to share your story with an enthusiastic audience of time travel fans, our team of editors is eager to embrace your work! If you feel you're up to the challenge, submit your work!
If you need help with a story, here are some prompts to get your writing started:
1. You discover your double in the past.
2. You're standing in the middle of a crowd. The air is thick with smoke, and you can barely see past the milling bodies. You've been here for hours now, waiting for something to happen. Finally, it does: A man comes running down the street with a torch in his hand. He's screaming something—you can't quite make out what—but you understand his intent perfectly when he throws the torch onto some papers just behind him, and they instantly burst into flames. As you watch the fire spread, a strange sense of déjà vu washes over you: You recognize those papers as being from your scroll obtained at The Academy of Time Travelers!
3. You are Julius Caesar and have just discovered that Cleopatra is trying to poison you.
4. You are working as a scientist at a government agency in the future when you meet your wife from another time period who has been pulled into your life by accident.
5. You are a time traveler and have just traveled back to ancient Egypt. You are in the palace, and you see Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. They are arguing about something, but you don't know what it is. They stop talking and stare at you as soon as they see you. What do you do?
