An email confirming receipt of your submission will be sent within 20 minutes of us receiving it. Note that your submission is sent to us via an email from the form processor service (formsubmit.co) which may occasionally take longer than 20 minutes to reach us. If you haven’t received a notification after a day then either resubmit your story or contact us.

To clarify for under-represented authors: Whether you ‘qualify’ as under-represented is something that you decide for yourself. We are not going to act as a gatekeeper on this, nor do we need you to justify your qualification. There is absolutely no requirement or request for you to tell us, in your cover letter or elsewhere, why you feel you qualify.

Cossmass Infinities is published three times a year in January, May and September.

We look forward to reading your work.
