How to submit

Process

We use Moksha.

Cover letters

We read entirely blind, preferring not to know anything about submitters until we’ve formed an opinion about the story.

Eligibility

No specific eligibility requirements

Formatting

We ask for a modified version of the modern Shunn format - essentially the Shunn format with no personally identifying information (no address, e-mail, phone, etc. on any page, including in the header).
