Distilled. Succinct. Terse. Cut the fat--give us the marrow of your
story.
Rawboned accepts previously unpublished (online or in
print) nonfiction shorts, flash fiction, poetry, and hybrids up to
750 words. Unsolicited submissions are rolling for the monthly
online magazine. Submissions are blind, so no identifying information
on your work (including document file name). Please double-space
(poetry can be spaced however you like); use a 12 pt. readable font
and one inch margins; use title of work for document file name. We
will reject submissions that do not follow these guidelines. 750
word limit. Pieces must be true shorts, so no excerpts from longer
works unless the piece can stand on its own. We accept simultaneous
submissions, but please notify us immediately if your piece has been
accepted elsewhere, or simply withdraw it from our consideration via
your Submittable submissions manager. See our complete guidelines
here [http://rawboned.org/about/submissions/].
Our submission fee is $3, which pays Submittable and helps maintain
our free online magazine. You may submit up to three pieces per fee,
in each category. Multiple categories require separate submissions
and fees. If we publish your work, please wait three months to submit
again.
All submitted work will be considered for our annual print edition. If
your work is selected for the print magazine, you will receive a
contributor copy.
