About

Fictionvale Magazine was started in 2013 by a couple of chicks who like to write and who were sad when all the short story markets started dying like slow runners in the zombie apocalypse. We decided to take advantage of (read: exploit!) technology and create a new sort of magazine. Our goal is to give writers a worthwhile short story market and to encourage readers to dive into short stories again!

Fiction Closed

We look for well-written genre fiction to fill our valley with story! Most episodes will pair two genres, sometimes similar ones, sometimes distinctly different ones, so we are open to all types of popular fiction. Because each episode features eight or so stories of two genres, we will put out a call for those genres first, but we will accept other genres as well, for future episodes.
