Submissions are open to all writers.
International submissions are allowed.
Please submit work primarily written in English, but some code-switching/meshing is warmly welcomed.
We seek poetry only for this contest: maximum 50 lines.
Submit previously unpublished work only—we do NOT review reprints for contests (including work posted on blogs, personal websites, social media, et cetera). Reprints will be automatically disqualified.
We allow simultaneous submissions—writers, please notify us and withdraw your piece if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere.
We allow multiple submissions—please submit each piece as a separate submission accompanied by an entry fee.
This contest requires a $5 entry fee per submission.
All entries will also be considered for publication.
Include a brief cover letter with your publication history (if applicable).
We do not require anonymous submissions. However, we do anonymize the fifteen shortlisted stories before sending them to the guest judge.
We do not discriminate on the basis of age, ancestry, disability, family status, gender identity or expression, national origin, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation, or for any other reason.
Additionally, we do not tolerate discrimination in the writing we consider for publication: work we find discriminatory on any of the bases stated here will be declined without complete review.
