Call for Submissions: The New Gothic Review

We are currently OPEN for submissions until Feb. 7th.



What we’re looking for:

  • We’re looking for previously unpublished short stories that embrace and reimagine Gothic fiction for the 21st century.
  • Compelling plots with a strong literary bend.
  • Eerie atmosphere is key.
  • Stories with Weird Fiction and Folk Horror elements are strongly welcome.
  • You can’t have Gothic without a little bit of terror & horror… that being said, we are not a horror fiction magazine.
What we’re not looking for:
  • Stories that contain gruesome violence, gore, or explicit sexual content.
  • Stories written in Victorian Era prose.
  • Fantasy.
  • Strong science fiction.
  • True Crime.


Word count: 1,500 – 6,000 words

Rights: We want authors to retain all the rights to their work. We ask for non-exclusive rights, meaning you are free to take your work elsewhere even after we publish it.

Payment: We currently pay $30 for short stories upon acceptance. In this early stage, we acknowledge that this payment is merely a token; however, as we grow, increasing our compensation for writers is our highest priority.

How to submit: Please submit your work to:

newgothicreviewATgmailDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )

using the subject line (Submission-[your name]). In the body of the email please include a brief 1-3 sentence bio.

Please, only submit one work at a time. If you submit a second work while your first work is still being considered, it’ll will be deleted. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere.
