The Literary Fantasy Magazine: Issue 1 releases on January 31, 2025!

Issue 2 StoCo Submissions OPEN!

From October 1st to November 30th, we are exclusively reading submissions from participants of StoCo's Short Story September.

There is no theme. There is no gimmick. We just want the best fantasy we can find. Send stories that challenge us, make us think and feel. We want character driven fantasy stories that do not rely on the tropes of old but instead refresh them or subvert them entirely. Heroes of legend or farmers living off the land, we want stories about anyone living in a strange and magical world and we want to know how that world affects them.
