About

PINBALL is a new nonprofit venue for short fiction, art, essays, and interviews. Emphasizing the diverse, forward-thinking, and constantly evolving literary landscape, PINBALL aims to promote work that’s both high calibre and accessible—work that speaks not only to other writers and artists, but to the wider community of readers. In search of that wider community, PINBALL seeks to include genre and literary fiction, as well as non-fiction essays and comics, into the literary conversation, allowing for permeability and mutation of prose into new territories.

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.
