Neon [1]
Neon is a magazine of slipstream fiction, poetry, and artwork. It publishes creative work that is fantastic or surreal, and which crosses the boundaries between science-fiction, horror, and literary fiction. It is one of the longest-running independent literary magazines in the UK.
Please read the guidelines before submitting, and include a cover letter and brief biography.
We seek work that is beautiful, shocking, intense and memorable. Darker pieces are generally favoured over humorous ones—as are free verse poems over those that rhyme. Genre work is welcome, experimentation is encouraged. There are no limits on form or wordcount.
