Call for Submissions: Etched Onyx Magazine

We are currently taking submissions for our Fall 2024 Edition. The deadline is August 18, 2024 with a $6.00 submission fee. If your work is selected it will be published in our on-line magazine AND narrated on the Story Discovery Podcast. Please keep in mind that the podcast includes an author interview. We recommend you listen to a few shows to get a sense of what that’s like. Hint, it’s lots of fun!

Our non-contest editions pay $25 for works up to 2500 words (this includes poetry) and $50 for works up to 5000 words.

• All applications must come through our Submittable portal. If you’d like to send us an email to provide kudos for the stories or the podcast, wonderful! However, any surreptitious attempts at submitting stories through email will be fed to our Auctor Dragon.

• Submitted works must be previously unpublished fiction, nonfiction, poetry or flash fiction. We do not require that you put the story’s life on hold while applying to us, therefore simultaneous submissions are fine, but please do let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere and at what publication.

• A cover letter is not required. If your submission gains consideration we will contact you for more information.

• We try to respond to all entries about two weeks out from the magazine publish date.

• We are open to all styles, genres, and types of writing as long as the story or poem is engaging.

• We require a minimum of three (3) poems but prefer five (5). Five (5) poems is the maximum you may submit in one document/submission.

• All works must be under 5,000 words.

• If you have been previously published with us please wait 12 months before submitting additional works for consideration. While we are pleased beyond measure that you enjoyed your experience with Etched Onyx, and although we’d love to read more of your work, we do try to provide opportunities for other writers to share their works with the wider world.
