We like: Weird, devious, melancholy, smart, experimental, and playful. We aim: To publish diverse voices. To publish work that responds to the mad world around us. To publish work that’s literary, but not your usual literary fare, including SF, Horror andintelligent fantasy for adults. We dislike: Bigotry, monotony, and people who don’t read the submission guidelines. Failure to follow the guidelines is instant rejection.

We accept submissions through: Submittable. Simultaneous submissions are fine. Please let us know if work is accepted elsewhere. We retain: First North American Serial Rights. You can read more about what that means here. Only submit once per cycle. If accepted, wait one year to submit again. Please include a short bio of less than 100 words.
