WE WANT YOUR STORIES

Authors! We are currently open to TWO different kinds of fiction. They are:

Slabs of strange fiction with a max length of 1200 words.

Chunks of tasty fiction told across THREE PARAGRAPHS and THREE PARAGRAPHS ONLY. (Kinda up to you how chunky those paras are) (within reason) (don’t be sending me a 15000 word story split into 3 chunky chunks)

WHAT KIND OF STORY

We want your literary quickies. Your oddities and flights of fancy. Dream logic and scream logic. Strong voice and style. Humour welcome. If we enjoy it, it’s the correct genre for here. No theme currently, but probably something we’ll look at in the future.

SOME AUTHORS WE LIKE

Some inspiration for the kinds thing we might enjoy: Daisy Johnson, Ottessa Moshfegh, Julia Armfield, Eliza Clark, Catriona Ward, Kelly Link, Nathan Ballingrud, Kate Folk, Sayaka Murata, Lucie McKnight Hardy, Virginia Feito, Karen Russell, Ivy Grimes.

WHAT WE DON’T WANT

Extreme horror. Boring stuff.
