Sparks Literary Journal - Poetry (Fiction)



Description
Limited Demographic: residents on the island of Ireland

One submission per category submission window.

Prose and poetry can be on any topic.

Sparks is a literary journal that seeks to publish Poetry, Flash Fiction and Short Stories that ‘spark’ the imagination. Whether that be a story about aliens, or just about a run to the shops, it doesn’t matter. We have no restriction on type or genre. Unlike many literary journals, we’re not bothered how literary in style it is. Once it is a story that sparks the imagination and rivets the reader, we will be interested in publishing it.
