Jitter Press

Full details

Background

Each issue features both new and established writers. We accept all kinds of horror fiction and nonfiction under 4,000 words. We also accept dark verse (poetry). We aim to frighten our readers. All submissions ought to focus on terrorizing the reader. Issues are published online and in print.

It's still free to submit!

Many excellent journals charge fees for either online or offline submissions (or both). We all understand those funds are needed to send contributors a copy, or otherwise generate income. More than 70% of journals today do not pay anything. These types of practices are understandable, but frustrating to writers.Fortunately, at Jitter Press general submissions are still free.

Publication Rewards

All journals have some financial strategy to stay afloat, and those decisions are often difficult trade-offs.
What are our trade-offs? Pros:

We don't require writers to pay anything to submit.

We are in the minority of journals that DO pay cash (via PayPal because it's easy and convenient).

Along with publication, all poets receive a 1 Year Subscription to Jitter online ($20 Value). Cons:

We cannot afford to send free paperback copies.

Token payments are small.
