Personal Essays & Short Memoir

Fiction Attic Press seeks thoughtful, well-written essays and short memoir that surprise, delight, and inform us. We like free-ranging associations, unusual avenues, startling revelations. 

When you submit your work, you acknowledge that we may publish it either online, in print, or both. 

As of June, 2019, we pay $20 for each full-length essay we select for publication.  We primarily publish essays of 2,000 - 5,000 words. 

For flash memoir (1,000 words or fewer), we pay $10.
