Fiction
Word count: 1,200–5,000 words
Please submit one short story per entry. Pieces under 1,200 words should be categorized as Flash Fiction. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, using 12pt Times New Roman or a comparable serif font.
Reframe the familiar, unsettle the everyday, and take us beyond expected boundaries—whether through stories of alienation, nonconformity, or imagined worlds that stretch across time and space.
While we generally consider work up to 5,000 words, we may review submissions as long as 6,000 words.
