PFN – The Twin Bill Seeking Submissions. Theme: Opening Day

Submissions

Fiction

We are interested in short stories up to roughly 5,000 words. Anything we deem significantly over the word count will not be read out of respect for the number of submissions our editors receive.

We are looking for writing that displays a strong personal style and a connection to the game of baseball. Most of all, we are excited by stories that situate baseball in a broader context, beyond the action of an individual game or at-bat. The more surprising connection to baseball, the better. There is a $25 honorarium per accepted story.

Creative Nonfiction

Creative Nonfiction at The Twin Bill is a place for true stories, boldly told. We have no formal requirements or word count, and we encourage experimentation in the name of contemporary storytelling.

That said, we urge writers to consider their story carefully and to use not a word more than strictly necessary.

There is a $15 honorarium per accepted piece.

Poetry

Please send up to five poems per issue. We love baseball from all eras, but we would particularly like to see poems of a more contemporary style or subject matter.

There is a $10 honorarium per accepted poem.

Guidelines

We are on Submittable. Please submit here. There is a $3 submission fee. Writers retain all rights to their work. We are only interested in previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know if it is accepted elsewhere.
