      All Submissions Font: Times New Roman Font Size: 12pt Title: Centered Page Numbers: Lower right-hand corner of every page in the footer Please do not include your name on your submission.

Any submissions that include identifying information will not be considered. Prose Line Spacing: Double-spaced Justification: Left Word Count: in the top right corner on the first page, formatted like this: “Word Count: ###” Poetry Line Spacing: Poetry can be laid out as you wish, as we understand that form often relates to the effect of a poem.

    • Author's rights

      F(r)iction retains first publishing rights on works published in print or online. Publishing rights revert to the author upon publication. If your work has been accepted for publication in an anthology after being published in F(r)iction, we simply ask that you credit F(r)iction as the original publisher.

    • Additional info

      Payment: $10 per final printed page and two free contributor’s copies Remove any identifying information from both the submitted manuscript and the file name as well. All genres are welcome, but especially those that celebrate the weird, take risks with form and content, and are driven by a strong, unique voice. Submit as many pieces as you’d like.
