We would like to read your work. To ensure that we do, please follow both the general and the genre guidelines carefully. Incorrectly formatted submissions may be ignored. We do not accept previously published work. We consider work that has appeared in print journals or on blogs or other websites to be "previously published."Unfortunately, we cannot offer any financial compensation for published work at this time.Submission Deadlines/Reading Periods.
We accept submissions on a rolling basis. Even though we've only just turned 2, Fringe is already having quite a growth spurt! We've received so many submissions that we need to take a break to give each piece the attention it deserves. To that end, on June 1 we will be closing submissions for the summer. So enjoy the sunshine, write all you can, then get ready to submit to Fringe when submissions reopen on September 1.How to Submit.
Email submissions to the appropriate genre address (see BY GENRE). In your email, please include a cover letter, brief bio and your full name. Your subject line should include your name, the title(s) of the work(s), and word count (line count(s) for poetry).We prefer Word or RTF attachments (PC platform) but will accept almost any compatible document form we can open, including text of e-mail messages. You may submit in .doc, .jpg, .gif, or .png format. Please note: We cannot open .wps or .bin files.
If you submit work in an attachment, please do NOT include your personal information within the file, as our submissions process is blind.
Simultaneous Submissions.
Are accepted. Please do not send us more than two total submissions at a single time. Please notify us immediately if your piece has been accepted elsewhere.Acceptance.
If your work is accepted, you will receive an email to the address you provide. The work that is accepted remains part of Fringe's online archive system for readers to access in the future. We are granted first electronic publishing rights. All other rights revert to the writer after publication. Unfortunately, we cannot offer any financial compensation for published work at this time.
