Folly Journal

We open for submissions on 13 January 2025, closing 1 June, via Submittable.

We look for works with blunt, provocative humour, satirical takes on the social scene, and starkly honest accounts of ordinary life. We are particularly seeking content that is provocative, a bit sexy and is starkly honest.

We are looking for:

Poetry

Short stories

Flash fiction

Creative nonfiction and essays

Nonfiction

Interviews

Comics and quotes

We accept flash fiction, short stories and poetry. Individual entries mustn’t exceed 2500 words. Don’t take this as a target, we love short and snappy prose of around 500 words too and even better if you can wow us on just one page.

Submitted work must be in English, with 1.5 spacing and in a standard font.

For consideration and inclusion in our 2025 print publication, submissions must be received prior to 1 May 2025.

We will endeavour to respond to all submissions within two weeks, and all shortlisted submitters within four weeks.

Any queries can be directed to:

editor@follyjournal.com 

Submissions open in mid January each year, closing around the end of May. Please keep an eye on our socials and our submission dates in Submittable - which are always up to date.

For 2025, the Folly Prize will be set to $500, to enable us to make contributor payments to everyone published in Folly. The amount paid will depend on the total number of submissions accepted but will be between $25 - $50 per entry. 

Submit your work here. (Note: This is a market with mature content.)
