We are working to break down the barrier to publishing by seeking works for folks who traditionally have difficulty accessing the publishing world or are underrepresented. All we ask is that your work makes us think twice. Whether that's through unique plots, storytelling devices, or form, we want to do a double-take when we read your work.
Please review our fiction guidelines below:
>Send one document containing micro, flash, and short stories up to 5,000 words. If your piece is over our word-count limit, we probably won't have a chance to review it due to the number of submissions we receive.
>Micro and flash submissions can contain up to 4 pieces totaling 5,000 words.
>Please double-space and use a 12-point font. Remove any identifying information from the document itself.

We know that you're not Roxanne Gay or Sloane Crosley, but maybe you're the next great essayist. If you need examples of the style we're looking for in essays, we recommend reading an essay or two by each of these outstanding authors.
