Submit one short story of 1500 to 3500 words. Stories are considered for online publication online on our website, fictionattic.com, and on our Substack.

Is your story 1,000 words or fewer? Use our FLASH FICTION submission form instead.

Payment: We pay $20 per published short story.

Accepted stories may also appear in future print anthologies.

We seek to help authors reach new audiences. After publication, you retain the rights to publish your story in other journals or in your own book. 

Simultaneous submissions are fine. Just let us know if your story is accepted elsewhere.
