Fifteen Pure Slush Vol. 24 – celebrating 15 years of publishing

Celebrating 15 years of Pure Slush publishing … Pure Slush turns 15 in December 2025!

Submissions for Fifteen Pure Slush Vol. 24 opened 1st October 2025. (Submissions will close 30th November.)

We are accepting submissions of poetry and prose (fiction and non-fiction).

Your submission must include the number 15 somehow …

Your submission must also be:

• original, so previously unpublished online or in print (so that includes authors’ websites and blogs)
• 150 word minimum limit for fiction and non-fiction, stories and essays / maximum 1000 words. (That’s for each story / essay: maximum number of prose pieces you can submit is 3.)
• 80 word minimum limit for poetry / maximum 1000 words. (That’s for each poem: maximum number of poems you can submit is 5.)

Submissions opened 1st October 2025 and will close 30th November 2025.

To SUBMIT, click here. When you submit, please include the word 15, plus your name and the title of your submission, and the word count. (Please note: word counts do not include titles or your name.)

PLEASE NOTE: if you are submitting more than one poem, story or essay, we really prefer they are all included on one document. So if you have 5 poems or 3 stories to submit, please include them on one document, and thus make one submission, rather than 5 submissions (one for each poem) or 3 submissions (one for each story).

If you are new to Pure Slush, please include a brief bio or profile of yourself.
