Submissions open now!
Submission Guidelines
Submissions are open year-round. Both original stories and reprints are welcome, although we won't publish more than 1 reprint per issue. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know immediately if your story is accepted for publication elsewhere. We're looking for drabbles (works of 100 words), but we'll be a bit flexible - works can be between 90-110 words (excluding title). Cutoff for each month's submissions will be the 5th of each month (11:59 p.m. EST). Publication will be the 15th of every month.
Limit 3 entries per writer at a time - 1 in each category. We publish fiction of all genres, creative nonfiction, and poetry. Please follow William Shunn's guide to formatting stories and send all entries in .doc, .docx or .rtf format to: Scribes.Micro@gmail.com. In the subject line, write "Micro Submission." Include a link to your website, if you have one, and a short bio of 50 words or less – if you don't have either, don't worry. It won't affect your chances of publication, but we like to be able to promote our writers and their work.
We will respond to every submission we receive. If you haven't heard back from us within two months, please feel free to query our editors as to the status of your submission.
By submitting your writing, you agree to our Terms and Conditions. If you're looking for more info on what we like to publish, check out our "Prologue Issue" with writing from the editors of the Fairfield Scribes.
We're a labor of love, so we can offer lots of love but no payment right now. We hope to be able to change this in the future.
Thank you, and happy writing!
