Submission Guidelines
***Speculative 66 is on hiatus. We love making our peculiar little journal, and we’ll be back after some life dust settles. Until then: Keep writing, reading, and stay wonderfully weird. ***
Submissions are Closed
Seeking micro stories and poetry from the speculative realm. Send prose or poetry at 66 words. No more, no less. I’ll make it easy: wordcounter.net/
(Title is not included in the word count. Hyphenated words count as one.)
Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please let me know ASAP if you accept publication elsewhere. If we decline your work, we encourage you to submit again.
Stretch the possibilities of 66 words. Inspire envy. Break hearts with your prose. Scare readers into sleeping with the lights on. Send universes in raindrops, magical realism, dragons that slay, potions and toadstools, spaceships, other dimensions, grit and butterfly wings, alternate history, and the indefinable.
Response Time:
Two minutes to three weeks.
Payment:
So much love! I’ll share your work with the world like a proud mother. We share our contributors' non-Spec 66 publication news on our Spec * Recs page. You’ll also be added to the specters list for eternity along with your bio and website/social media.
Rights:
Speculative 66 acquires first-time electronic publication and audio rights. Rights revert back to writers and artists upon publication.
Diversity:
We welcome submissions from everyone: Earthlings, Extraterrestrials, Spirits, Creatures, Other Realmers, and Indefinables.
How to submit:
