We seek fiction that allows us to transcend the everyday, haunts our dreams, and feels fresh. We’re looking for work that will move, stun, and awe our readers.

We want to be the first publication to give your writing a clean, powerful, international platform with a diverse readership. What are we looking for? We don’t want to limit our readers; therefore, we don’t want to limit you. We know quality work when we experience it. We don’t mean to be coy, but you need to know that we’re not interested in making your art conform to some preconceived aesthetic. We’re neither presumptuous enough, nor pretentious enough, to proclaim what "won’t fit" before we even try it on. Send us your best. We have over 75,000 readers in 145 countries, and they are hungry for the best new writing.

Contact/query us first. Send in finished work. Since it's an online publicaiton, we prefer shorter works.

Your work does not need to be desert-themed; but the general open feeling of a desert should be present in the work. We also publish books by authors whose work appears in the magazine, and do not yet have a publisher.

In your bio, please include any bookselling experience you might have had in the past. Mention if you worked at a library or bookstore, or if you have ever had any stewardship for a library you yourself did not own.

Our prose editors are Mickey Collins, Michael Santiago, & Z.B. Wagman. Our poetry editor is Ariel Kusby.
