Submission Timing:

For the July issue, submissions need to be in by the end of June. For the October issue, submissions need to be in by the end of September. For the January issue, submissions need to be in by the end of December.

Simultaneous Submissions:

We accept simultaneous submissions since we feel that it’s unreasonable to expect writers/photographers to give a magazine an exclusive look at a work unless the magazine can respond within two to three weeks. We want creatives to have every possible opportunity for success, so we’re willing to risk losing a story/set we want when someone at another magazine may have done their reading before we have, and in that case, we’ll be sorry to lose the piece but happy for the creator.

Response Time:

Our response time varies from one to two weeks, with the slowest times usually being March-June.

Word Count Guidelines:

SHORT STORY manuscripts must be no less than 250 and no more than 750 words.
