| Read our sample issue. It contains some great short fiction that everybody should enjoy. I want the writing we publish to be so good and the stories so unique that we can showcase Issue #1 for years to come, while we intend to publish a new issue every three months. I want fiction so dark, twisted, or just plain tasty that I lose sleep after reading them. We're going to try and include a mix of every category of story. We aim to publish fiction that stirs the mind and awakens the heart. Or, something scary! It doesn't have to be genre fiction for us to be happy, but at the same time, we're a genre market. |

Register as a writer. Registering will allow you to submit your fiction. |
SubmissionsSubmit genre or literary stories between 100-2,000 words. Our preference is between 500-1,000 word stories, but we will happily accept longer stories. Click here for our story categories. Longer works will be considered, but payment stops at $30 US Dollars. If it needs to be 3.5k words, then you can submit it like that. No email submissions! Submit in Digital format via browser which means no paragraph indents and double spaced between paragraphs. (Don't worry, if your work is in manuscript format, we have a converter). If it's not in manuscript format or digital format, then I don't know, it should be one of those two standards. We don't accept artwork, erotica, or poetry. We will publish an author's name with the story. We will also publish stories anonymously, but we have to have a name on file for the writer for copyright purposes, and we require an email address as well, so we can discuss potential changes or fixes to their story. If you don't feel comfortable entering your name and email address into a foreign database, please include them at the top of the body of your story on submission. Also at the author's discretion, an email address, web address, and/or a short bio will be included with the story. Your story will have a hit counter when published, so you'll know how many people opened your story to read it. REPRINTS We will accept reprints only from established authors (i.e., you've written books that ended up in bookstores). Otherwise, no reprints! If you do submit a reprint, please note that at the top of the story submission. We define a reprint as a story that's been selectively published, posting it to your homepage or to a forums, doesn't count as being published. Multi-Submit This means you're allowed to submit more than one story to us. Simultaneous Submissions NO SIMULTANEOS SUBMISSIONS. If you submitted your story to another market, give them time to reject or accept it before submitting it to Untied Shoelaces of the Mind. If you submit a story to us, please don't submit it to any other markets until we've rejected it or accepted it. Register as a writer. Registering will allow you to submit your fiction. |
