What We’re NOT Looking For 3LBE does not feature media tie-in fiction, fan fiction, novel excerpts, or memoir. We do not publish poetry or non-fiction (reviews, essays, interviews). We are not looking for what has been called “extreme horror.” Please avoid excessive descriptions of violence or gore. Issues of 3LBE magazine include audio readings. If your story is accepted, you will have the option to record your story, have a colleague do so, or one of our narrators. For legal reasons, writers must be at least 18 years old.
