Fiction Submissions
Ends on
We are open for fiction submissions from Sept 1-October 15 and from Jan 1-Feb 15.
Please send us your best short story, 1000 - 5000 words in length. The Passages North team has diverse interests; so send us your weird, your experimental, your speculative, your genre-bending, your brave, risk-taking work. We are looking for unique, impactful, powerful voices. We’d love to read stories featuring settings we’ve never seen, situations we couldn’t have imagined, and characters that pull us in for the ride. That said, we love the quiet ones too—the ones we’ve seen before but still hit and burn softly in the back of our brains for weeks. We want your entertaining stories and your emotional stories. A good way to win us over is through great dialogue, a propulsive first page, and an ending that either leaves us completely satisfied or begging for more. Don’t be afraid to send us your stories that hit close to home—we promise to treat them with care.
