Manguel The Cafe Irreal is a semiannual webzine that presents a kind of fantastic fiction infrequently published in English. Therefore, we're interested in stories by writers who write about what they don't know, take us places we couldn't possibly go, and don't try to make us care about the characters. We would also suggest you take a look at the current issue , archives , and theory pages on this web site. The Cafe Irreal publishes two issues a year and accepts fiction up to 2,000 words in length.
Translations are welcome.
There is no minimum length, and we accept excerpts from longer works. We don't accept simultaneous submissions and are only interested in reprints in unusual cases. Therefore, if the story or translation has been published before, please specify where and when. We also don't publish the same author in consecutive issues. We report back on submissions within two months.
