We accept short stories from 500-10,000 words in length.<\/p>

We are not a \u201cgenre\u201d magazine.\u00a0We are looking for quality writing in any subject.\u00a0We want interesting themes, characters, and unexpected resolutions. We aim to be the kind of journal\u00a0that is difficult to define.\u00a0We seek to surprise readers. We are open and eclectic.<\/p>

But to narrow it down somewhat, we love mysterious subjects, ambiguity, thematic focus, and emotional impact. We love surprises and content that shocks (not meaning anything pornographic).<\/p>

Move us, take unexpected turns. Above all, never bore us with 30-page ramblings that go nowhere\u2013We will trash this kind of junk.<\/p>

Last of all, write from the most honest knowledgeable place in your heart and we will pay attention.<\/p>

Please submit your work in Word, Text, or RTF files. NO PDFs please. No email or postal submissions.
