Guidelines

• Genres: Poetry & Flash Fiction (Any genre).
• Length: Up to 2,323 words.
• Poetry: Up to 3 poems per submission.
• No Multiple Submissions: One submission per window — up to 3 poems, or one prose piece.
• No Reprints: We publish one piece a week, so every slot goes to work that hasn’t appeared elsewhere. Please send previously unpublished writing only.
• No Simultaneous Submissions: Please do not submit your work to other markets while it is under consideration here. Feedback takes up to a week maximum, and all accepted works will be published within the month.
• No AI-Generated Writing: Please leave AI tools to non-creative, administrative tasks. Write your stories and poems yourself. To protect the integrity of our magazine and our authors, we reserve the absolute right to verify the authenticity of any submitted work using secure, private tools that do not store or use your writing for training.
• The Selection: Exactly 4 pieces per month (one for each Sunday).
• Response Time: Up to 1 week (by the 30th/31st of the same month).
• If accepted: Please wait 3 months from your submission date before submitting again. We strive to give a voice to different people. Additionally, we kindly ask that you do not submit or publish the accepted work anywhere else for 30 days after its release date on our site.
• If rejected: You are welcome to submit again during any future window with no limitations.

Note: Our selection is widely subjective. A rejection is never a reflection of your talent or quality of your work!

Payment

A payment of $1 via PayPal is available upon publication for every accepted author who wishes to receive it. All rights revert to the author immediately after publication.
