The Quotable

There are presently no open calls for submissions

The Quotable is a quarterly print & online publication and will accept submissions during the following reading periods:

December 1 - February 1 : Spring Issue
March 1 - May 1 : Summer Issue
June 1 - August 1 : Fall Issue
September 1 - November 1 : Winter Issue

Unless otherwise noted, each issue will be centered around a theme and a quote.

The theme for Issue Seven is Feast or Famine.

General Guidelines:

We seek flash fiction (under 1,000 words), short fiction (under 3,000 words), creative nonfiction (under 3,000 words), poetry and art.

We accept only original unpublished work. Fiction and non-fiction contributors are limited to one submission per reading period. Poetry and art contributors are limited to three submissions per reading period. We do accept simultaneous submissions, but ask that you notify us immediately should your work be accepted elsewhere.

We prefer double spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman (or similarly readable font). To ensure fairness, The Quotable has a blind submissions process. Remove all identifying information - name, email address, from your manuscripts. We will decline any manuscript that contains the author's information. Cover letters should include your name and a brief bio to be used in the event of publication.

Please direct any questions to editor(at)thequotablelit(dot)com.

We will make every effort to respond to every submission, but if the issue has been released and you have not heard from us, then we thank you for your interest, wish you luck placing your piece elsewhere, and encourage you to submit again.

Upon acceptance, The Quotable acquires first serial publications rights, after which the copyright reverts to the author. All accepted work will be archived on the site for so long as the site manager(s) should deem appropriate.

The editors of The Quotable envision a world in which all artists are paid handsomely for the considerable efforts they make to enrich mankind. While we labor toward that utopia, however, the only payment we can offer is the esteem of seeing your name in print and your work appreciated.
