It started with an idea, a collective of stories where each builds on the one that comes before... A community of tales, speculative, literary, or in between.

Et Sequitur Magazine is a literary publication that curates a collection of interlinked stories, where each narrative builds upon the preceding one through shared characters, settings, or themes. Established in 2022 and based in the United States, the magazine releases four electronic issues annually. It welcomes a broad audience and accepts a wide range of genres, including general fiction, with a particular interest in literary and mainstream styles. Submissions are open for flash fiction (500-1,000 words) and short stories (1,000-2,500 words), offering semi-professional payment of $25 per piece. The magazine emphasizes the importance of linking submissions to the current issue, encouraging writers to read the latest publication and guidelines to ensure alignment. Each accepted piece undergoes multiple rounds of editing, including substantive suggestions, line editing, and copy editing, with authors approving final edits before publication. While the magazine is relatively new, there are intentions to nominate published works for national or international awards in the future. (duotrope.com)

Et Sequitur Magazine

General call

We are open to all genres, from literary to speculative and everything in between. Our only requirement is that your submission in some way connect with the latest Et Sequitur story, be that in character (minor, major, protagonist, antagonist), setting (neighborhood, world, workplace, house -- even a certain object could work, if it's featured prominently), or theme. Be creative! Continue the story, tell a side-character's story, take the theme and twist it in a new way. In the submission form, you'll be asked to identify which element of the previous story you've chosen to incorporate in your own.
