Submission Guidelines:
All work must be submitted electronically through our submissions portal
at http://www.camden.rutgers.edu/
storyquarterly/submissions.php.
We no longer accept submissions by mail or and we will automatically return any submissions emailed to the editors. We accept submissions year-round and are looking especially for work by new and emerging writers. We are interested in literary fiction, including short stories, short shorts, and novel excerpts up to 8,000 words in length. We are not presently seeking unsolicited essays or creative non-fiction but are open to queries from writers interested in conducting interviews with established authors. Payment: Between $150 and $200. Stay tuned for announcements of our Fiction Contest.
How To Submit:
Enter the submissions portal through our main page and follow the simple
directions. First-Time Users must sign up in order to log in and submit
work. Decisions can be tracked electronically directly on the site.
What We Need:
Please study the magazine to get a sense of what we publish. SQ fiction
is selected on the basis of originality, art, and meaningfulness. Good storytelling
and a sense of humor are especially appealing. We like to see a strong narrative
design from beginning to end. Most of the work we publish is by newer writers,
and we are very alert to the promise of a writer's growth and of future
works that may be discerned in submissions we see.
