About

Simply put, Scape is a speculative fiction e-zine with a young adult (YA) focus. All Scape fiction and poetry must contain a speculative component. Urban fantasy, magical realism, hard sci-fi, cyberpunk, alternate history, supernatural, myth and legend, post-apocalyptic, dark, light and all shades in between. If you can imagine it, we’ll consider it. That being said, to catch our attention you’re going to need to do something new and fresh if your story features well-worn ideas such as vampires or time travel. Scape's YA focus doesn’t mean we want ‘dumbed down’ or ‘censored’ stories. Quite the opposite. YA for us is broadly defined. It means fiction that is relevant, meaningful and of particular interest to young people. We're not putting a specific age bracket on 'young people' and we aim for our publication to appeal to the 'young' and 'young at heart' alike.
