On June 4th, we will be opening for speculative fiction novelette submissions between the word count of 10,000 and 18,000 words. We will cap submissions at 300.

Once we reach the cap, we’ll close our portal while we work through the submissions. If our portal is open, we are still accepting stories, but once it is closed, please do not send us your work.

In order to allow more writers to submit to us and widen our pool of submissions, we will not be allowing multiple or simultaneous submissions to our other open windows throughout the year:

  • General Submissions: April 16th
  • Indigenous Author Submissions: November 3rd

That means writers may only send one story across all three open submissions. If you have submitted a story to our April general open call, you may not submit for the other two open calls in June and November.

Please see our fiction submission guidelines for more details on how to submit once we open and what we publish. Since we are using a submission cap, we encourage authors to submit promptly!
