General Guidelines: Literary Magazine
​
We’re looking for short fiction and poetry with a twist. Keep it under 2000 words for prose and 500 words for poetry (more than one short story or poem are acceptable as long as together they are under the requested word count). Please include a brief third-person biography (150 words or less) with your submission.
We accept simultaneous submissions but please withdraw if you’ve been accepted elsewhere.
We are an inclusive publisher. We reserve the right to refuse any work that contains racism, sexism, homophobia or transphobia.
Send your submission as an attached Word document (double-spaced, 12 point font) to darkwinterlit@gmail.com. Specify that you are submitting to the literary magazine. Include the title(s) and word count of your submission in the subject line.
