Note from the editor: After the publication of our 7th issue in 2021, we went on a brief hiatus in 2022 as we worked to restructure ourselves to improve our publication. However, we are now excited to announce that we are now open for submissions.

—

Submissions are NOW OPEN for our Summer 2023 Issue!

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR PREVIOUS ISSUES

Due to the volume of submission, please allow us 4-5 weeks to review your work. Thank you. 

Fiction Guidelines:

Thank you for thinking about submitting your creative work to us! To get a sense of our publication, we highly encourage you to grab a copy of our latest issue HERE!

Our publication centers around thrillers (whether it be action thrillers, horror thrillers, crime thrillers, etc). As long as your work somehow connects to the thriller genre, feel free to submit it. We aim to publish a mix of short stories, flash fiction, and poetry.

Below is some basic information regarding rules for submissions:

Short Stories:

• We accept short stories up from 1,000 – 3,000 words.
• Please only submit ONE short story per reading period.
• We DO ACCEPT previously published work as long as it’s not under contract with a different publication.

Flash Fiction: 

• We publish flash fiction year-round on our blog, and we also publish a few flash fiction pieces in each issue. You can submit flash fiction any time, even when our reading periods are closed.
• You can submit up to 2 flash fiction pieces (each under 1,000 words) at a time.
• We DO ACCEPT previously published work as long as it’s not under contract with a different publication. 

Poetry:

• Poetry may be up to 35 lines.
• You may submit up to 2 poems per reading period.

We cannot provide monetary compensation at this time (we hope to change this in the near future). We only ask for one time publishing rights if we accept your work. Simultaneous submissions are more than welcome, but please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere.

Here are a few final tips for submissions:

• Please include a short author bio in the body of your email
• If you have read any of our previous issues, feel free to let us know why you think your piece connects to our publication
• Please only send your most polished work

We aim to respond to submissions as soon as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We look forward to reading your work!

Please email your submissions as a Microsoft Word attachment to magazinethriller@gmail.com. 

Author Interviews:

Though we currently do not offer any sort of book review service, we aim to feature author interviews with thriller/mystery/suspense writers on our blog. If you are an author interested in being interviewed for our blog, please email us at magazinethriller@gmail.com
