Hawkeye A reliquary for beautiful words

About

At Hawkeye, we gravitate towards the uncanny and lean in favor of the strange. We flutter to off-kilter stories like fire worshipers to flame - if your story sets us ablaze, all the better.

We do not shy from the macabre and are drawn to narratives that leave us feeling delightfully unsettled, blissfully scarred. That said, we enjoy uplifting, feel-good stories as well, provided they have the right elements.

We want to see the mundane go wild, the everyday turned on its head. We like to get dirty, and embrace the sterile going septic. Leave us wanting more, or leave us guessing. Was it literal, or was it a dream? We don’t need to know. We need to feel. Make us feel.

At Hawkeye, we like it when you’re naughty. Check out our guidelines, then promptly ignore them. Send us what you like. We will read your words for as long as we enjoy them. We will publish ANYTHING that stirs our soul.

Ultimately, we don’t like restrictions, so we don’t like to restrict you - or your writing. But let’s be real: at Hawkeye, we want to see your best.

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.
