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.

directions. First-Time Users must sign up in order to log in and submit

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.
