Send us unpublished fiction or flash fiction, not reprints, up to 3,000 words. Simultaneous submissions are fine. Do not send multiple submissions. We request that submitters wait 1 month after receiving a response before submitting a new piece to help us avoid back-ups in the queue. Please double space your submission. Use an unobtrusive font so we can focus on your story and not how difficult it is to read.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 things we’ve noticed about our broad aesthetic tendencies over the years:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We’re often fans of the absurd, the off-kilter, and the darkly comic.<\/li>\n
  2. We tend to fall for beautiful language or an unexpected phrase.<\/li>\n
  3. We’re interested in how a story gets told.<\/li>\n
  4. We prefer stories that are stories, not static moments or a character’s memories lacking broader context.<\/li>\n
  5. We’re open to reading the slyly speculative, the strange, the uncanny, and the weird.<\/li>\n
  6. We love when stories take a risk.<\/li>\n
  7. We rarely find body part humor all that funny.<\/li>\n
  8. We publish fiction; please don’t send us poems. We aren’t qualified for those.<\/li>\n
  9. We find that stories dependent upon very particular pop culture references sail right over our heads.<\/li>\n
  10. We especially encourage marginalized and traditionally underrepresented writers to submit, though your piece does not have to encompass those themes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
