Collapse section Fiction Open

Any Genre is welcome, although we tend to prefer being held captive in the dark corners of your mind.
We want stories that function as a single, sharp impact. No setup. No extended aftermath. Deliver us directly into the moment of consequence and leave us there. Every word must be essential. We are not interested in what led to the moment or what comes next. We are interested only in the perfect, crystalline moment of change itself.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
