Vast Chasm Magazine publishes bold work that explores the expansive
human experience, including flash and short fiction, creative
nonfiction, poetry, and other nonconforming work.
- We read year-round, on a rolling basis, for our quarterly online issues.
- Submissions are reviewed only through Submittable, where specific guidelines for each genre are provided.
- Submit only one piece at a time, regardless of category. Please wait to hear back before trying us again.
- We do not charge a submission fee.
- We happily consider simultaneous submissions. Life is short. Just
let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere, so we can update our
queue and celebrate your success.
- Send us your previously unpublished work as a .doc, .docx or .rtf in
an easily readable format. For a nontraditional piece, you may opt to
submit a .pdf.
- Please include a 3rd-person bio of no more than 100 words.
- We will thoughtfully consider your work and typically respond within 3 months.
- If we’ve already read and declined a piece, please do not submit revisions unless specifically requested.
- Vast Chasm is a paying market. Currently, we are able to offer $50 per published piece, payable via Paypal or Venmo.
Genre-specific submission guidelines are as follows:
- Flash Fiction: one piece, up to 1,200 words
- Fiction: one piece, up to 5,000 words
- Flash Creative Nonfiction: one piece, up to 1,200 words
- Creative Nonfiction: one piece, up to 5,000 words
- Poetry: one poem
- Other Nonconforming Work: one piece, mindful of the limits detailed
above; use this submission category if you feel your work does not
conform to the other genres listed. For example, you might submit a
hybrid piece, a hermit crab essay, or anything we haven’t seen before.
