We look forward to reviewing your work.
Our reading period is April 1 through August 1 & August 15 through December 15. Some genres, however, could close early if submission caps are reached prior to the end of a reading period.
Submit only once per reading period.
We offer free submissions during the first week of each month (April to December); otherwise, there is a $3 general submission fee.
You may also choose to receive a quick decision about your work for $10, and may also receive a quick decision about your work along with personalized feedback from the editors for $25. The response time for both fee related options is approximately 2 weeks.
