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- original, so previously unpublished online or in print (so that includes authors’ websites and blogs)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.)
