Submissions for New York Great Cities Vol. 3 are OPEN.
We are accepting submissions of poetry and prose (fiction and non-fiction) for New York. (Submissions will close 31st January 2026.)
Your submission must include New York City, whether as a memory, wishful thinking, an anecdote, the setting for your story or poem, a place of importance, or where you live or holiday …
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- original, so previously unpublished online or in print (so that includes authors’ websites and blogs)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.)

If you have any further questions, please email edpureslush@live.com.au.
To SUBMIT, click here. Please include the word NEW YORK, 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.
