We are interested in quiet works – pieces that whisper rather than roar. Give us contemplations on three a.m. train rides, stones skipped on stormy beaches, and all that falls in between. We also have a particular interest in pieces that explore nature and its interactions with the human condition. Vibrant descriptions too are something we have a fondness for particularly in smaller pieces which can pack a resounding punch.
While we have no limitations regarding genre, pieces that feature homophobia, transphobia, racism, xenophobia, or misogyny will not be considered for publication. We also ask that erotica not be submitted.
The maximum word count for fiction and creative nonfiction is set at approximately 2,000 words. Any submissions that pass 2,500 words will not be considered.
Poetry has no set line or word count limit. We do ask, however, that any submitted poem does not exceed three pages in length (the total submission may exceed this page count).
You may submit up to three fiction or creative nonfiction pieces at once. If you intend to submit in both categories, we kindly ask you send them as two separate submissions.
Poetry submissions may include up to three poems.
We allow simultaneous submissions but ask you to reach out immediately should your submitted piece(s) be accepted elsewhere.
All submissions should be sent to:
floatingacornreview@gmail.com
and should be formatted the following way:
Your email subject line should include the genre you are submitting in, the number of pieces, and your name. Ex: “Fiction 2 by [INSERT NAME]”
All submitted pieces should be in one attachment (PDF or Word preferred) at 12 point Times New Roman font. Please note that how you format your piece within the submission is how it will appear in the issue should it be selected for publication.
Additionally, we ask that you include how you wish your name to appear print and an author bio of approximately 100 words.
