Simultaneous submissions are accepted and encouraged, but please inform us immediately if the story is accepted elsewhere.

Multiple submissions are also welcome. If your story is rejected, please feel free to send another story. A previously rejected story will only be reconsidered if substantive changes are made (you can be the judge of “substantive”).

Response time may vary. We try to decide within 30 days. If you have not heard from us after 90 days, please email us. An email confirmation should arrive after submission. If not, please email us to make sure it was received!

Please submit all stories as doc., docx., .rtf, or .pdf only in the Standard Manuscript Format (Shunn; this is not strict, but please follow as best as you can).

Please include a short third-person bio so we can get to know you and to go with the piece should it be accepted.

  • We accept the following original works of speculative (fantasy, science fiction) and literary fiction in English with the accompanying payment rates via PayPal/Zelle:

    For speculative fiction, I tend to like “softer” forms though I’m not opposed to the harder stuff. I LOVE magical realism/fabulism, surrealism, slipstream.

  • We accept the following original works in English with the accompanying payment rates via PayPal/Zelle:

    Personal Essays: Up to 2 pieces at once (< 3,000 words): $20 honorarium.

    I’d love for these pieces to be centered around Latine/Latinx experiences. They should be thoughtful and seek to understand the world from a fresh and somewhat challenging perspective.
