How to submit

• Process

  Moksha

• Cover letter

  There’s also a field for you to enter any of the items we’ve asked you to note in these submission guidelines, confusingly labelled ‘Cover Letter’. Please do not supply a full covering letter or summary of the story, either on the submission form or the manuscript. The information we’re after includes: reprint information (if applicable), if the author is a Young Author or previously unpublished, if the author is part of an under-represented demographic, if the story is #ownvoices, or if it skirts our content guidelines in any way/touches on sensitive topics. For this last point, this allows us to assign appropriate readers. We’d also ask that you don’t include any identifying personal information here.

• Eligibility

  No specific eligibility requirements

• Formatting

  The manuscript should be saved and uploaded in any standard word processing file type, such as Word, Google Docs or .RTF. We do not accept PDFs.

• Additional info

  We are particularly interested in considering stories from younger writers. We’re Looking For Stories that evoke a sense of wonder, have deep emotional resonance, and have something unreal about them. We aim for a 12-17 age range: that means sophisticated, non-condescending stories with wide appeal, and without gratuitous or explicit sex, violence or pervasive obscene language. Think Harry Potter or The Hunger Games. We don’t accept media-based fiction or any kind of fan fiction. We run both reprints and original stories, and have no strong preference between the two. We do not accept multiple submissions from an author at the same time. You may only send us a single story at a time, regardless of length.
