This Month’s Story Wishlist:

  • A future that is dark and strange and beautiful
  • Writing that spans generations
  • People who belong on other worlds
  • The recognisable seen through a magicians lens

Submissions

Fractured West is a new print magazine for flash fiction. We want readers to see things in a different way. For this, we need writers who write things in a different way. Surprise us.

We welcome submissions from all writers, but are particularly interested in new, unpublished, and emerging writers.

    • SEND your best work in the body of an email to
      submissions@fracturedwest.com
    • MAX 500 words, but the shorter the better – stories over 500 words will be deleted unread
    • ONE story at a time; you may submit another when we get back to you about the first one.
    • POETRY submissions are not accepted at present
    • BIOS are not vital but will be read with interest
    • DEADLINES are unimportant; we accept/reject on a rolling basis
    • PAYMENT will be one copy of the print magazine

Call For Cover Artwork

  • A repeating pattern with a few strong colours.
  • No figures or too many recognisable objects, as it should not
    suggest a narrative.
  • Simple but interesting, as it will be used for the cover, website, and promotional material in various sizes.
  • If you do not have suitable artwork but would be interested in producing a new piece for our cover, send a small sample of your work.
  • Send links or JPGs to
    hello@fracturedwest.com
