Before you submit your short fiction or poetry, please make sure that you have read the submission guidelines.

Submission guidelines

Please type your submissions in 12pt Times New Roman font, double spaced for short fiction.

All genres of creative writing are accepted, but please only submit pieces or excerpts under 5000 words.

If you would like your piece to be published with fonts and formatting different from the guidelines above, please submit both a 12pt Times New Roman draft and a draft with your intended appearance.
