Fiction - 10000 words max

Max words: 250

Max words: 10000

Max pieces: 1

Sub Genres: Fantasy, Horror, Science Fiction, Speculative

We have no minimum or maximum word count but strongly prefer stories over 250 words and under 10,000. Science fiction, fantasy, and horror, but also compelling work that blurs the lines between these and falls outside of neat genre categories

Poetry

Max pieces: 3

We consider all forms. However, individual haiku, or other very short poems, may be a tougher sell.

Art

We are looking for primarily full-color illustrations to serve as cover art. We currently do not commission new cover artwork or pieces to appear with individual stories and poems. The best way to submit artwork is to email a link to your online portfolio or gallery, though you may also send individual pieces for consideration.
