They don't exist do they?
Not even a little webzine that doesn't pay for submissions.
Are you kidding me? Someone can't even get a free site and slap a domain name on it? Where is the conservative culture anyways? Where are the libertarians?

I was thinking about that recently when I re-read Anthem (my favorite Ayn Rand book). The part before the story starts talks about how the publishing industry back then was controlled by socialists and that it only saw the light of day because a small conservative press was willing to publish it. In this era of enforced political correctness, conservative fiction will be very difficult to get published no doubt.

As far as I can tell there isn't even a free homepage dedicated to it. It almost doesn't exist. Have conservatives withdrawn from the culture where they are willing to subsist on Tom Clancy and a few other novels?
Certainly we can do better than this? Someone somewhere could throw down a dot com and set something up?

After some searching, I found a publisher that does accept the kind of fiction (including political) that most of the big houses reject. www.encpress.com/index.htmlNo website about conservative or libertarian fiction in general though.

Heck, if I somehow actually get money I plan to start a couple of them. One that doesn't pay or maybe a token amount and one that pays a better than token amounts. I would probably even do one that focuses more on scifi-revisionist histories too.
I am betting the farm on Mega Millions!

"Liberty unbound magazine", a libertarian publication, often takes short fiction and gives contributors copies in return. I have had several stories in their magazine.
Another option is publishing via Amazon Kindle. I have all of my books, "Humanity's Edge" and "Sirat: Through the Fires of Hell", as well as several co-written anthologies, in that format. I've even put several non-PC short stories in Kindle form to reach a broader audience.

Thanks for mentioning that, Tamara! libertyunbound.com/I just read through the Writers Guide section. That place does not pay you for your writing. It is not a problem if you just want to get your work seen, of course, but not the place if you want to make money from your writing.
