A literary journal of safety and danger. We place a special emphasis on the Midwest, but even more emphasis on amazing writing and art. We aim to display aesthetic ambition as well as the work of authors and artists who are under-represented in the Anglophone literary world.

Author's rights
When an author or artist (“you”/”contibutor”) agrees to our offer of publication of a work, Storm Cellar (“we”/”us”) thereby acquires worldwide first serial rights and limited, perpetual, nonexclusive, online rights.

We don’t use a signed contract, but rather make a “handshake agreement” regarding your work; i.e. by agreeing to publication you agree to these terms.
