Tough is a crime fiction journal publishing short stories and self-contained novel excerpts of between 1500 words and 7500 words, and occasional book reviews and essays of 1500 words or fewer. We are particularly interested in stories with rural settings. We are a crime journal. We ask for first world and electronic rights.
We do consider reprints on a case-by-case basis with the following caveats: first, the story must not appear anywhere else online; second, we pay a flat fee of $25 for reprints.
Tough publishes three times per month on Mondays, for which we pay a flat rate per story, book review or essay (as of contract date January 23rd, 2021, that rate is $50) --we don't take poems--in exchange for first world serial rights to publish the submission on the website and one-time anthology rights.
