About

One of the 25 cities must play an integral role in the story’s development [see their site for the list of cities that are open to submissions]. You may consider this a “place as character” requirement, or a lens through which your characters exist and develop. NOTE: The entire story need not take place in said city.

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.
