Submissions

At Shortster, we are interested in making things for the thrill of bringing something that formerly didn't exist into the world for folks to see and savor. We believe in the cultivation and sharing of art. To this end, Shortster currently accepts unsolicited poems and short stories.

For anthologies and collections, see down below.

Please note that every submission is treated as confidential. Furthermore, if you do not receive a response within six weeks of your submission, it means that your submission was not accepted.
