About
The Forge Literary Magazine was founded by volunteers from the Fiction Forge, an international online writers’ forum, which counts amongst its members and alumni winners of numerous literary awards, including the Commonwealth Short Story Prize, the Bridport Prize, the Bristol Short Story Prize and the Pinch Literary Award in Fiction. Former members’ novels have been published by Bloomsbury, Chatto & Windus, Sceptre, Headline and Little, Brown. Our staff share editorial duties equally, we pay our contributors, and our taste is wide-ranging and eclectic.
Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. They charge fees for "tip jar" and post-quota submissions.
