Bristol Noir: Stories Gold Star Program Gold Star Fee: gbp £15.00

We're looking for strangely uplifting fiction and non-fiction pieces full of dark humour and thoughtful insights. We love dirty-real writing that is more McCarthy, Bukowski meets Withnail & I with an edge than Lock Stock or Requiem for a Dream.

We provide feedback on all submissions and, where appropriate, give suggestions on how to make it the best fit for us.

If selected, we will copy-edit, set out and produce feature bespoke artwork for your work. When publishing on our e-zine we will share across our social media audience that includes 1000s of followers across our channels.

Word count: Anything over 2.5K

No maximum word count but please be mindful of the context -- no novella-length pitches, please.

Categories: Fiction/Nonfiction
Translations: Permitted.
File types: .doc, .docx, .odt, .pages, .txt
Number of Pieces: 1 piece

Anonymous submissions are not required.
