We are soliciting flash fiction and short stories from 100 \u2013 5,000 words<\/strong>, based on the theme: REBIRTH, RE-EMERGENCE, REAWAKENING <\/strong>(just like a Cicada).\u00a0 \u00a0We encourage all genres and creative non-fiction submissions.\u00a0 We’re looking for engaging stories\u00a0representing multiple viewpoints, cultures and perspectives.\u00a0We encourage stories from all fiction genres and creative non-fiction.<\/p>\n

Polish your story to your best ability, but here at Cicada Song Press, we want to help your words take flight.\u00a0 If your piece is selected, our editors will work with you to improve your piece to make it the best it can be.<\/p>\n

Keeping with our mission statement, we encourage both unpublished and published writers from diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n

There is no entry fee for submissions, and we do accept multiple submissions, up to 3 per author. Your story may not have been previously curated in a magazine, journal, anthology, etc. (but if you published it yourself on a webpage that is ok), and we do not accept AI generated stories<\/strong>. All story decisions will be made by the end of December, 2024.<\/p>\n

Selected stories will be printed in our Breaking Through the Penumbra anthology, expected in Spring 2025. Authors of selected stories will receive a free e-copy of the book, along with the opportunity to purchase print copies at the publisher\u2019s cost. We will also include one social media\/website link printed alongside your story so your fans can find you. Story rights revert to the author immediately following publication.<\/p>\n

Be especially careful to include an accurate email address, as this will be our sole means of contacting you.<\/p>\n

We are not particularly choosy about manuscript format, but a double spaced, 12-point, legible font is nice. If you\u2019d like more guidance, we suggest William Shunn\u2019s guide to Proper Manuscript Format<\/strong><\/a>. We request .doc, docx, or .rtf format.<\/p>\n

If you have more questions, please contact us at submissions@cicadasongpress.com. Do NOT use this email for your submission, only for questions. Submissions should be made using our form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
