I have been lucky enough to land a story at Factor Four Magazine (Issue 52, November of 2025). Factor Four has a decent acceptance rate and pays pro rates. The only quirk I experienced was that I didn’t get a notification of when the story was to go live. Once I received payment, I just keep checking back every couple days to see if the story was on their site. This is not completely uncommon in short fiction markets, so I wanted to mention it for any budding writers out there who haven’t experienced that yet.

Please check out my story, We don’t like to use that term, when you have a chance. It is a quick 700 word read and, I think, a fun one.
