Rat Bag Lit: Reprint Micros Gold Star Program Gold Star Free Tip Jar Option

Deadline: Saturday, November 7, 2026 11:59 PM EST (in 5 days, 13 hours).

Call: Unthemed Micros, Reprints Only

Maybe you have some previously published weird pieces that you'd like to get a little more attention. We rats are all writers and we know it's not always easy to sell reprints. For this call, we're looking for reprints only.

We'll pay a flat-rate of $1, for any piece up to 500 words.

You can submit up to 3 pieces at a time, as individual submissions.

These will be for digital publication on our Substack.

Rights must have reverted to you by the date of publication. We'd be happy to credit the original publisher. Please include the original publication details in your cover letter. (If your piece is still under an exclusivity contract, please include the release of rights date in your cover letter.)

The weirder, the better, as we rats always say.

We often send reader's notes, some of which may be rat-themed and unhinged. You can opt out of receiving reader's notes by including a note in your cover letter.
