About
Before venturing out into The Void,
It is very important that you watch out for
understand they are watching you.

Black Hole News is a web-based journal and quarterly literary magazine that accepts fiction, flash fiction, poetry, new media, art, comics, and creative essays.
We are seeking bold, emerging, and underrepresented voices. We’re drawn to work that feels unexpected; pieces that bend genre, disrupt convention, and rethink what deserves attention in the literary world. Send us writing that fractures the familiar. Any moment, any scale, rendered with intensity and originality.
We also strongly encourage submissions from writers who have experienced marginalization or exclusion themselves. Literary spaces have historically centered certain voices over others, and we are committed to uplifting work, and writers, that have too often been left out.
If it feels strange, or too unconventional for other outlets, send it our way.
Our Mission
At Black Hole News, we point our minds at the unknown and listen. We exist to surface the strange, the luminous, and the unresolved from The Void and are committed to deliver writing that informs, provokes, and moves. We believe the act of writing is itself the most fascinating signal a human can transmit, and we're committed to chasing it honestly and sharing what we find in a way that is accessible to all who seek it.
"You fall into a black hole, and you are irretrievably gone from the universe. That finality has made it irresistible to writers."
