T STORIES

Here at STORGY we welcome unsolicited submissions from published and unpublished authors. We are looking for literary short fiction, particularly short stories which challenge literary conventions and experiment with genre, style, form and content. We consider all genres and welcome all submissions. We want writing which forces the reader to face the reality in which we live, or the illusions in which we hide. We want soul, be it broken or bruised, or endless and almighty. We want to laugh, cry, cower, and applaud. Tell us, teach us, transform us.

NON-FICTION

ESSAYS

We are seeking informed essays that attempt to place their subjects against a broad perspective, including, but not limited to; personal essays, memoir, literary journalism, travel narratives, etc. For the most part we are not interested in scholarly articles that are narrow in focus and/or overly burdened with footnotes. The ideal essay is a provocative, thesis-oriented work that can engage both the general reader and the specialist.

REVIEWS

Book Reviews
In most cases, selection of titles to be reviewed and assignments to specific reviewers are made by the editors, however, we welcome queries regarding book reviews. Our book reviews are usually 1,000 to 1,200 words in length and written for a general-interest literary audience. Queries should include a description of the book you wish to review and/or a synopsis of the review (if already written), as well as a short biographical statement and, if possible, two to three clips of published critical work.

If you would like to join the STORGY REVIEW TEAM, contact us via email and introduce yourself. Please include a sample of your work or links to previously published reviews.

ARTS & CULTURE

ART

Art, Illustration, and Photography
We are seeking art, illustration, and photography for use as feature pieces in our magazine, or to accompany content that we post online. We are also extremely keen to discuss opportunities for collaboration. All featured artwork will be extensively publicised and promoted in STORGY Magazine and across our social medial channels, and readers will be encouraged to visit and explore artists professional websites etc. Submitted images may be used in entirety, or a detail may be selected. When submitting images, please include a cover letter, bio, title, date, size, and materials used in the image. High-res images are preferable. Artists, illustrators, and photographers may send material for consideration at any time.

If your work is chosen we will ask you to grant us the right to post the image on our website, as well as in social media promotions. We will acknowledge your name and title of the work, and include links for further information about you and your work.

Full details  Overview Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now almost 50 years and two thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Patrick Rothfuss , Tad Williams , C. J. Cherryh , Mercedes Lackey , Kristen Britain , Melanie Rawn , C.S. Friedman , and Tanith Lee .

Full details How can I submit my idea to Quirk? We love smart, original, cool, and fun books! However, each editor has their own submissions policy, so please review their guidelines carefully. Our house policy: We only review digital queries and sample material. No physical submissions, please. Thank you for thinking of us! Who should I contact? Jhanteigh Kupihea (Editorial Director)  loves exceptionally written, high-concept adult fiction and pop-culture-driven non-fiction. If your mystery/thriller has a true-crime or feminist twist to it, send it to her! She loves horror—the more atmospheric and psychological, the better. (Not a fan of violent and gory.) She loves fun, voice-y novels for women, especially ones that focus on female friendships or subvert romantic comedy tropes. Regardless of the genre, she loves anything that breaks the mold and plays with unusual structures, so think of her for your modern update on the epistolary novel or your interactive n
