If possible, please submit your short story in. Copyright always remains with the author. We don't ask for more rights than we need to produce our anthologies, or place any limits on what you can do with your story after the exclusivity period. When we publish a story, we ask for a brief period of exclusivity (usually six months), and the right to keep the story in print as part of the anthology. This means that the story should not have appeared anywhere else, either in print or online (which includes publication on an author's own website).

We ask for first serial rights on any story we publish. (All stories must be in English: if submitting a translation, please make a note in the synopsis field of who is making the submission, and who owns the rights to both the story and the translation.) Rights We're based in the UK, and accept short story submissions from authors all over the world. International submissions and translations To receive updates when we launch new calls for submissions, please sign up for our email newsletter using the box at the top of this page. Be sure to sign up for our email newsletter (in the box at the top of the page) to receive updates when we reopen. We're taking a break to read the submissions we've already received, but we will reopen later this year. The stories we publish are also eligible to enter the Writer's Award, a cash prize of £100 for the best story in each volume, as judged by the contributors. Contributors also receive two complimentary paperback copies. We pay £25 per thousand words for stories we publish (eg £100 for a 4,000 word story, or £150 for a 6,000 word story). Most of the stories we publish are between about 2,000 and 7,000 words. We are able to consider stories that are between 1,000 and 10,000 words in length please do not send anything longer or shorter than this. Please note that we do not consider novel excerpts, non-fiction, poetry, or anything with illustrations or photographs. If the most important thing about your story is its quirky narrative structure, or if the protagonist is a writer who's writing a short story about the challenges of writing a short story about the challenges of being a writer, then it may not be for us. One other thing to note is that we're looking for stories about people and places, rather than about writing itself. Find out more, or get your own copy, here.

Our latest anthology, Houses Borders Ghosts, is a great place to start, and is available in both paperback and Kindle editions. We strongly recommend reading one of our anthologies before submitting: every short story publisher has different tastes, and if you take the time to discover what we publish, you'll find it much easier to decide what to send us. The Fiction Desk anthologies contain a range of short stories from both new and established authors. To find out what's happening at the moment, please see the sidebar to the left.
