STORYGLOSSIA Submission Guidelines
Guidelines updated February 20, 2014.
Temporarily closed to submissions.
Please read the last few issues before submitting.
STORYGLOSSIA has published a lot of new writers over the years and would love to be your first, so if you are unpublished don't be shy about saying so when you submit.
What to Submit
Fiction less than 5000 words.
Simultaneous submissions are OK—as long as notice is given as soon as the piece is accepted elsewhere.
How to Submit
Send your submission via email to editor AT storyglossia DOT com. No attachments, they will be returned unread. Just put the text of your piece in the body of the email. Include "Fiction Submission" in the subject of the email message.
Response Time
Response time will typically be within a month, usually much quicker, and will be an email reply to your submission. If accepted, the story will generally appear in the next issue, that is, within two months. Occasionally a story will be held over for the following issue if we think it will be a better fit, but you will be notified in advance if that is the case.
Please report your response times at Duotrope's Digest.
We look forward to your submissions.
