All applications must come through our Submittable portal (link below).  If you'd like to send us an email to provide kudos for the stories or the podcast, wonderful!  However, any surreptitious attempts at submitting stories through email will be fed to our Auctor Dragon.

Submitted works must be previously unpublished fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.  We do not require that you put the story's life on hold while applying to us, therefore simultaneous submissions are fine, but please do let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.

You are welcome to include a cover letter, though, it is mostly certainly not required as it gives us more to read.  If your submission gains consideration, we will contact you for more information.

We will close the submission window once we receive 200 applications.  As we are currently just a two-person shop, that's the maximum we can get to in a timely fashion. We know waiting for responses can be a nail-biting experience (and may even include some cuticles) so we try to respond to all entries about one month out from the magazine publish date.  

We are open to all styles and types of writing as long as the story is engaging.  While we are not opposed to experimental or speculative types of fiction, it has to be interesting and understandable.  Flash fiction and poetry is also welcome.

All works must be under 7,000 words.
