Additional info
We’re accepting submissions from residents of Australia only. You don’t have to have been born here, but you do have to call Australia home. We’re looking for stories that excite, that break the boundary between real and unreal. Experimentation and surreal ways of looking at the world we live in will be looked upon fondly. Horror, magic realism, speculative fiction and streams of consciousness are welcome – but they must be somewhat grounded in real life. While we love original takes on legends and fairy tales, we will pass on any story that overtly mentions witches, faeries, vampires, zombies, ghosts, werewolves, and the like! No multiple submissions. We strongly encourage submissions from Indigenous peoples, women, LGBT+ and people of colour. Payment. Flash $50-75 + a copy of the issue. Short Fiction $80-140 + a copy of the issue.
