About

Pocket Fiction is a digital platform to showcase short stories from different writers and authors around the world. This is a place for readers to come and choose a short story to read whilst they have a spare 5-20 minute break from life. And a place for budding writers to get their short stories out of their dark drawers and into the light of life by being read and enjoyed.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)
The fee range is GBP £3 to £5 (average to above average for magazines that charge).
