Call for Submissions: Etched Onyx Magazine

 Etched Onyx Magazine is open for submissions.

We are accepting works for our Summer 2021 edition which will go live in July.

The deadline for submissions is May 28, 2021. There is a limit of 200 submissions so get yours in early and don't procrastinate! 

For this round of submissions we are waiving the $5 fee! It is 100% free to submit. We are offering various levels of paid feedback and critique (details via Submittable link below), but these are purely optional. Submit away!

Submission Guidelines

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Submitted works must be previously unpublished fiction, nonfiction, poetry or flash fiction.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.

You are welcome to include a cover letter, though, it is mostly certainly not required as it gives us more to read. If your submission gains consideration, we will contact you for more information.

We know waiting for responses can be a nail-biting experience (and may even include some cuticles) so we try to respond to all entries about two weeks out from the magazine publish date.

We are open to all styles and types of writing as long as the story is engaging. While we are not opposed to experimental or speculative types of fiction, it has to be interesting and understandable.

You may submit up to five (5) poems in one document/submission.

All works must be under 7,000 words.
