Kirby Fantasy Fiction Magazine

About

Kirby magazine exists to champion original fantasy.

We publish stories shaped by their own histories and mythologies—worlds that feel lived in. From epic landscapes to intimate character journeys, our focus is on work that treats fantasy as more than escapism, but as a lens through which we explore identity, belief, conflict from the deepest parts of our imagination.

At its core, this is a platform for writers. Short fiction remains one of the most vital proving grounds in the literary ecosystem—where voices are discovered . We are here to support that process by giving emerging and established writers a space to be read, shared, and taken seriously.

We are striving to be more than a publication.

We are building a body of work.

New worlds. New voices.

  • 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.
