Coffee Grinder logo with caption: The Grinder, brewing your submissions into something useful





Description
Think seaside retreats, warm sand and cool breezes. Stories that are captivating, easy to read and let your reader take an escape from reality.

Bring us short stories filled with lovable characters who find the perfect love or a wild and crazy fling, jilted brides, old summer cottages filled with secrets, ghosts, lost diaries and treasure filled attics.

Send us stories filled with romance, mystery or adventure. Comedies with depth and emotion that go far beyond humor and romance. We’re looking for: happy endings, wonderful locations and a fun ride. We want stories with the perfect summer vibe.

  • The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
  • The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
  • The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
