Sunspot Literary Journal [1]
Since launching in January of 2019, Sunspot Literary Journal has amplified diverse multinational voices. New works have been published in their original language side-by-side with English translations. Boundaries that exclude meaningful and important works have been broken by accepting extremely long-form pieces, a rarity in publishing today. Sunspot eagerly accepts fiction and nonfiction ranging from four words to 49,000 words in length, graphic novels from a single page to 120 pages, scripts, screenplays, and artwork of all types.
Microfiction, flash fiction, poetry, short stories, plays, scripts, literary works and well-written genre pieces up to novella length are welcome. We also accept graphic novels and art.
Novellas and novellettes are accepted only during the first part of each quarter.
Sunspot offers a Fast Flux option for a slightly higher fee. Turnaround time for Fast Flux submissions runs from 1 to 2 weeks, with most responses going out within 4 calendar days.
Sunspot runs several contests to further support authors, poets, and artists. In addition to a cash prize for first place, Best Of selections for each category are made from the list of finalists. All finalists are offered publication.
