About

All submissions must take place in the fictional town of New Bedlam. There is no specific geographical location for New Bedlam, other than north of Missouri, east of Utah, south of Nunavut and west of Kentucky. All writers are expected to refrain from giving any specific location. Two maps of New Bedlam will be provided on-site. When describing New Bedlam (if necessary) in your story, please refer to the map that fits your timeframe. Stories and poetry can take place in any timeframe, although be forewarned, we'll expect steampunk to be Victorian, and sci-fi to be somewhat futuristic (current science to future sci-fi).

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. Look for the fees icon.

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.
