Editorial Focus
Fiction Collective 2 is an author-run, not-for-profit publisher of artistically adventurous, non-traditional fiction.
Tips From the Editor
Fiction Collective 2 primarily publishes work recommended to us by members of the collective. We do not consider general submissions or have an open reading period. We do, however, run two annual manuscript contests that are open to a wider range of writers. For writers who do not know a current collective member who can recommend their work, these contests are the best way of submitting a manuscript to FC2. The contests run from 15 August to 1 November every year, and do have a reading fee, for which fee waivers are available.
