First, I Thought of You

Update about Fiction Submissions (PLEASE READ)

Hello! Please be advised that accepted FICTION submissions are now being scheduled into 2026. That is quite a ways away, we know, but it also means that we’ve got enough great fiction scheduled for the rest of 2024 and ALL of 2025!

We just want to mention this for anyone still waiting for decisions or submitting.

PRINT ANTHOLOGIES!

We’ve released several print anthologies! Please check it out (as well our previous ones) and maybe even spread the word and/or purchase some? We’d be very grateful and humbled 🙂

Give and Receive!

We still have leftover stock from AWP, so if you hit the support us! button below and donate $20 or more, you’ll receive a free 2014, 2015, or 2016 print anthology (your choice, obviously) and a free magnet (upon request)!! What are you waiting for?
