Read our mission to ensure your work is a good fit. All work is published bi-monthly online. We proudly nominate six authors each year for the Pushcart Prize, two poets for the Best New Poets anthology, up to eight flash pieces for the Best Microfiction anthology, and up to four debut short stories for the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers.

• Journal submissions are closed from May 15th-Aug 15th.
• We do not accept previously published material.
• We accept unsolicited simultaneous submissions. Update your work’s status in Submittable if accepted elsewhere; never email.
• A brief cover letter is helpful but not required.
• We encourage, but don’t require, web formatted prose (no indents, single-spaced, one space between paragraphs).
• We respond generally within three months. Message us through Submittable if longer than six months; never email.
• The honorarium for publication is $25 dependent on successful completion of a W-9 form or W-8 BEN per IRS reporting requirements.
• We ask for first serial rights and the right to keep a copy of the publication in our archives. All other rights revert back to the author after publication.
• We ask that authors mention that the work saw first publication in Newfound for future reprints.
