Cover Art

We are looking for artwork to feature on the covers of our issues. We prefer art that can be displayed on our cover in portrait format. Please do not send more than five pieces of art at a time. If submitting multiple pieces, we prefer images to be in one document. Review previous issues to get a feel for our tastes. Send your best artwork, including drawings, photographs, etc. through our submission manager found here.

Fiction

We’re always looking for quality fiction to publish in our biannual issues. We accept work based on merit and not based on genre. We enjoy receiving submissions from under-represented genres such as: YA, romance, flash fiction, mystery, etc. We ask that you keep submissions to 5,000 words or less and follow our guidelines for preparing your manuscript. Submit your fiction through our submission manager found here.

Creative Nonfiction

We’re looking for personal essays and other creative nonfiction. There is no submission fee, but please prepare your manuscript according to our guidelines. Submit your creative nonfiction through our submission manager found here.

Poetry

Please send only three poems at a time in one document. Poems do not have to be double spaced, but poets should still use Times New Roman, 12 pt. font and the poet’s last name/page number should still appear in the top right hand corner of every page. Poets, please keep in mind that our issue pages are 6×9. For this reason, poems with particularly long lines often don’t work well. Submit your poetry through our submission manager found here.

Blog Posts

We’re always looking for contributors for the Black Fox blog. We are particularly interested in articles on the craft of writing, book reviews, book news, and publishing news. If it’s writing, book, or publishing related, then this is the place for it. If we like your article we’ll publish it to our blog. Submit your articles through our submission manager found here.
