About

5 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Once Upon A Crocodile is an e-zine that wants to bring a mile-wide grin to its readers (snaggle-toothed or not) with humorous stories and poetry. The Crocodile likes Fantasy (high, dark, low, light, wet or dry, we don't mind) Sci-Fi, and Horror. The absurd is also what the Crocodile is looking for, and we like animal stories too. Just so long as they make us laugh. It helps our digestion. So feed us your shining tails. Tales, we mean. Sorry.

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.
