Call for Submissions: A Short Story Long

Short stories, 2k-8k words long (with the 3,000-5,500 range being our real sweet spot). What are we looking for? Honestly, best indicator is to read a story or two we've already published.

Second best indicator is to generally be familiar with Aaron's taste and what he's published on HAD, and Hobart before that.

Every published story will be paired with original art, and both writer and artist are paid $150. (Becoming a paid subscriber helps pay contributors!) Submissions will be open until the end of January. Please only submit once per submission period. Thanks! —Aaron Burch

Deadline: Jan. 31, 2026
