Call for Submissions: RIPE

RIPE is currently open for submissions. Compensation for published work is a flat rate of $40.

What We’re Craving

Work that directly speaks to, interrogates, complicates, and/or sheds light on a news story, article, essay and/or media “current” at the time of submission.

We’re hungry for the present and prescient. We especially relish stories that challenge the power structures of the world around us.

General Guidelines

We publish fresh flash fiction of all genres inspired by recent events.

Wordcount: 500 words or fewer.

Publication Status: Original, previously unpublished work.

Language: English. Work from non-native speakers is welcome.

Subject Matter: Work must pull inspiration from a news story, article, essay, and/or other form of media “current” at the time of submission. We are not interested in fiction that promotes fascism, racism, transphobia, sexism, ableism, homophobia, fatphobia, etc.

Submission Format: Docx file in a comfortably sized, legible font. If the reader’s experience of your fiction is affected by visual/stylistic elements of formatting, please include a PDF copy as well.

Multiple Submissions: Please submit only once piece of work to us at a time. We’re happy to accept a new submission when you’ve heard back from our editors on your last submission.

Simultaneous Submissions: Please inform us promptly if you’ve decided to publish your work elsewhere by emailing editor@ripefiction.com.

Submissions which fail to follow our guidelines will receive no response.
