Orca publishes three times a year: the March and November issues are dedicated to literary fiction, and the July issue contains literary speculative work. See the Literary issue guidelines here, and the Lit-Spec guidelines here.
Literary Fiction Deadline: June 1, 2020
Spec Fiction Deadline: October 1, 2020
We are open to all writers, without prejudice or preference. The language of a story is very important to us—we like it to be intelligent and erudite. We prefer work that is high concept: imaginative, thoughtful, even speculative, open to possibilities. Give us deep, diverse characters. Blend genres. Connect seemingly disparate ideas. Keep it entertaining, but make us think.
Orca is fee free for the first 100 submissions each month. After that, Submittable charges us, so we have to charge. If we make a little profit from that, we’ll return it to our published writers as a stipend (currently $25 per published piece).
