Submissions
Short Story Avenue is open to submissions! We want to see your best short stories and poetry.
Everyday thousands of stories and poems don’t make it out of the slush pile. Rejection letters build up and great authors don’t get the shine they deserve. Short Story Avenue seeks to be another place to shine that spotlight on those who would otherwise remain in the dark.
We want your weird,
We want your fresh,

We want your original story never told before.
When you’re ready to submit, send 1–3 stories or poems in the body of an email (no attachments, please) to shortstoryave@gmail.com. For the subject line of the email, use the word “Submission” and your last name. Please, also make sure the email includes a brief bio (written in 3rd person) and any website links you’d like us to include so that readers can explore more of your work.
We will do our best to respond to all submissions within one month of receiving them.
As an growing publication, we can only offer promotion and exposure as payment for the time being. We hope to be able to start paying our writers in the future. It’s a big goal for us.
For previously unpublished poems, Short Story Avenue will retain First Publishing Rights and all other publishing rights will remain with the poet. We do also accept reprints.
Stories and poems will be posted Tuesdays and Fridays each month and will be then be added to the archives.
