3cents Magazine

About

29 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

3cents Magazine puts authors and their writing in conversation with one other. We believe that literature is at its best when it is intertwined, intertextual, and interconnected. We publish poetry, fiction, and nonfiction with a twist. Each issue of 3cents will rotate around a theme. We will publish one poem, one short story or flash fiction, and one piece of creative nonfiction together as a mini-collection built around that theme. While the authors get their individual credit, their pieces will be forever linked by a shared tone, theme, style, sense of whimsy, imagery, or any other unifying or complicated relationship our editors find in the craft.

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.
