Submissions
We expect to begin accepting submissions for our first issue in the summer of 2025. Please check back then to submit your work. We will, of course, be accepting works of fiction and of poetry. We will also accept submissions of visual art which may be used in our print and digital editions, or on our website. In preparing to submit, please observe the following guidelines.
All submissions will be made through Submittable. Please format your manuscripts with one inch margins, twelve point font, in Times New Roman or other, comparably clear typeface. All submissions must be previously unpublished. If your work is not used in the immediate issue, we may accept it for a future publication instead.
When submitting to any of the categories of work we consider, please do not include any identifying information in the document itself, or we will be unable to accept it for publication. We welcome simultaneous submissions, but if your work is accepted elsewhere, please withdraw your submission on Submittable. Authors will retain their rights to their work after the work is published in Fiction & Poetry.
We accept submissions year-round, but we ask that you wait at least one month before submitting again in the same category. Please do not inquire about the status of a submission unless it has been longer than six months since your submission was received. We do not require cover letters.
Unfortunately, we are not in a position to offer payment for works selected for publication at this time.
Fiction
We accept fiction in three categories based on length, but we are unlikely to publish in
print anything over 8,000 words. Please submit either under our flash fiction section
(<1,500 words), our Short Story section (<8,000 words), or in our Novelette section
(<16,000 words).
We have no strict genre limitations, though we endeavor first and foremost to publish literary fiction.

the magazine or on the website, for design purposes. We are interested in all kinds, be
they photography, sketches, paintings, collages, mixed media, digital works, etc.
