Description
Note: this publication may close early for submissions if they reach a submission quota; these early closures will not be tracked in this listing.

Note: if your work is accepted, wait a year after publication to submit again.

Our editors are impressed by work that’s attentive to craft without drawing attention to it, that takes risks whether noisy or quiet, and that’s serious in its purpose even when its leading edge is humor.


This market is temporarily closed.


This market charges an unknown fee to submit.
