What we’re looking for:

Unpublished* original creations – We do not accept previously published work (written or visual), nor do we accept anything posted publicly online (including on personal sites & social media).

We will, however consider orphaned stories (previously published in now defunct magazines) as long as they have not been printed (on paper) and are no longer available online, but please mention it on the form.

Once we accept a piece, if we come across it elsewhere prior to publication (online/magazine/anthology), it will be removed from our issue.

Your work can be in any genre (e.g. noir, epistolary, humour, etc.) and any form (including hybrid & comics) as long as it is emotional and raw. 

Guidelines:

Prose – Fiction & Non-fiction:

  • Flash – up to 500 words
  • Short – up to 2000 words
  • Formatting: Times New Roman – size 12 – double spaced

Poetry: 

  • Up to 3 poems at a max of 6 pages. 
  • Formatting: Times New Roman – size 12 – single spaced

Submission Guidelines:

  • We use Google Forms for submissions. 
  • No cover letter is required. 
  • Author Biographies should be 50 words or less.
  • Available options: remain anonymous, use a pseudonym, and dedicate your work. 
  • Websites & social media tags will be used for promotion and the links added on our site.

Multiple Submissions & Simultaneous Submissions:

  • Multiple Submissions: You can submit up to 3 pieces in different categories (for example, you could send 1 flash piece, 1 short, and 1 poetry submission). 
  • Simultaneous submissions are fine, but be sure to let us know as soon as possible if your work is accepted elsewhere. We’re happy to see you published, even if it isn’t with us.
  • If we’ve published you before, feel free to submit again during any of our submission cycles.
