submissions

We’re looking for literary fiction, speculative fiction, and genres our readers haven’t seen in a while. Dust off the tropes of an old, abandoned genre and send it our way. We prioritize no theme or narrative style. Just tell us a story we can’t turn away from. For more on what we’re about, visit our about us page. Free submissions are open year-round, and our first contest will begin on October 15.
