About

Smash Cake Magazine is a twice-yearly, perfect-bound, print publication open to all genres, lengths, styles, and voices. We welcome both experienced authors and newbies alike; we know what we’re looking for, and we don’t care what you’ve done before. Our magazine is dedicated to capturing life–the good, the bad, the smelly, the golden–and sharing that back to our readers. We believe there’s an instinctive, unmistakable, and primal Ingredient X that a human being can recognize in someone when honesty is at play, and we seek to uncover it. We collect passion–of all varieties.

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.
