Submissions are open for our twelfth issue until June 1, publishing on the July 11th for the All-Star Game.
Fiction
We are interested in short stories between roughly 1,000 to 3,000 words. Anything we deem significantly over the word count will not be read out of respect for the number of submissions our editors receive.
We are looking for writing that displays a strong personal style and a connection to the game of baseball. Most of all, we are excited by stories that situate baseball in a broader context, beyond the action of an individual game or at-bat. The more surprising connection to baseball, the better. There is a $20 honorarium per short story.
Creative Nonfiction
Creative Nonfiction at The Twin Bill is a place for true stories, boldly told. We have no formal requirements or word count, and we encourage experimentation in the name of contemporary storytelling.That said, we urge writers to carefully consider their story and to use not a word more than strictly necessary.
Submissions can be on topics within or beyond the world of baseball, and should be on theme for the upcoming issue. There is a $10 honorarium per accepted submission.
Poetry
Please send up to five poems per issue. We love baseball from all eras, but we would particularly like to see poems of a more contemporary style or subject matter. There is a $5 honorarium per poem.
Visual Art
We are interested in comics, illustrations, basically anything that you can think of that says something about baseball. Feel free to reach out with ideas, we love to be surprised. We are also looking for illustrators for our pieces. Please email us at:
before submitting art. We do not publish photography.
