I want to see: setting, plot, and character within each submission. You may send up to five stories per submission, but, if accepted, I ask that you do not submit more than once per month. Upon receiving a rejection letter, you are free to submit different stories in another submission as soon as you wish.
Send your submissions to sixwordshortstories@gmail.com. In the subject line, please write: "six word short story", the number of stories you are submitting, and your name.
Ex: Six Word Short Story - 4 - John/Jane Doe
Remember to submit your work in the body of the email, along with the appropriate title for each piece. *note: Titles must not exceed more than two words* Below your story/stories, you will specify the name you would like to be published under (i.e. Real name or your chosen pseudonym), your city of residence, and a short bio.
- simultaneous submissions are acceptable, however, send an email if your piece has been accepted elsewhere.
- Previously published pieces are not accepted (websites, e-zine, or traditionally published).
- Emails with attachments will be deleted faster than you can read your six word short story.
- Hemingway will haunt you and summarily delete your submission if you fail to adhere to these guidelines.
