What We're Looking For

We seek literary fiction that exhibits artistic merit, complex characterization, and emotional resonance. Literary fiction emphasizes character-driven narratives, psychological insight, and thematic richness over plot-centric storytelling. It reveals the human condition through subtle nuances and sophisticated prose.

Examples of writers we admire include Alice Munro, Tobias Wolff, Jhumpa Lahiri, Sally Rooney, and Ocean Vuong, whose works demonstrate precision, depth, and thematic complexity.

We welcome stories that thoughtfully explore family dynamics, cultural identity, moral ambiguity, or the quiet revelations that shape our lives.

  • Format: Standard manuscript format (double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman or similar serif font, 1-inch margins)

  • File Type: Microsoft Word (.docx) only
  • File Naming: Please name your file as "LastName_FirstName_StoryTitle.docx"

Cover Letter
