Submissions for Prole, Poetry and Prose
Prose submissions:
Short story and creative non-fiction submissions are welcome. We are open to most themes, although we do not accept fan fiction. There is an upper word limit of 7500 words, but pieces of a shorter length are more likely to be accepted if the quality is right. All submissions should be contained within the body of an email. You should include your legal name, contact details, word count and a short, third person author bio of no more than one hundred words.
To save time: all prose should be single spaced; plain Arial font should be used; paragraphs should be single spaced unless you want to indicate a significant break; single speech marks should be used.
Send all prose submissions to: [email protected]
Please type 'submission' in the subject line.
Any email with an attachment will be deleted without being read.
