Tips From the Editor

We’re looking for literary fiction that shows mastery of the craft: arresting openings, characters that engage us, dialogue and descriptions that sparkle, narrative drive that leads to a satisfying conclusion.

We welcome submissions from writers of any background, anywhere in the world. Your work can be written in standard English, nonstandard English or dialect, as long it’s comprehensible to the general reader. We’re open to works that are naturalistic, experimental, surreal, comical, or any other style you can think of, as long as it’s polished till it shines.
