About

colony collapse seeks writing that stands yeti-like & backlit on a riverside cliff shotgunning a pabst and/or burns under your skin well after you've dug the stinger out and/or ghostrides the whip with the kid still in the car seat and/or etcetera. we print exclusively prose--fiction, creative nonfiction, reportage, hybrids, and other experiments--with a special focus on novella- and chapbook-length collections, in the mission of bringing increased attention to these under-appreciated literary forms and the authors who write in them.

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.
  • For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
