We like to give each manuscript careful consideration, and are receiving a great deal each week. We also expect that if we confirm acceptance of the manuscript with you, it will not be withdrawn in favor of another publication at a later date. Don't query for fiction or poetry. Just send it on in. Disposable manuscripts are fine, but you should include a self-adressed, stamped envelope.
Translations are also welcome.
Novel excerpts are considered if they are self-contained. I'm not particularly interested in genre work, unless the work in some way transcends its genre. Ideally, we'd like stories to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000 words, but that's not set in stone. We're open to shorter and some longer works, but I believe a very long story may be more appropriate for a printed magazine. Kindly submit only one story at a time.
