87 Bedford See other projects related to this listing. Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2023). We provide the following information as an archive. About We are looking to publish excellent, beautifully-written and interesting original fiction from new and veteran writers. We prefer all our stories to have a literary bent but in our opinion that shouldn’t exclude compelling genre-y tales of passion, mystery or the speculative. We also accept poetry (written and spoken-word), art & photography, and other imaginative forms of creative media pieces that might not have been thought up yet. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. They charge fees for short stories.
