Submission Calls

~ Submission Guidelines ~

• For all open calls, submit your work by email to submissions@wearethequietones.com with the subject line formatted as such: “[Zine Publication Month/Year] [Story title] [Author name] [Age Range]” (ex.“April 2023 – The Sinkhole – Emily Young – Adult”).

• Please submit your work as an email attachment in .doc/.docx format.

• Authors may submit up to two pieces per issue. We request that each piece be submitted via its own individual email. You are welcomed to interpret each issue’s theme however you like but keep in mind that your interpretation should be within the realms of quiet horror and/or intimate dystopia.

• Ensure your document contains your story title, your name (or pen name), and an approximate word count. In the event that your story is selected for publication, we will need your legal name for the contract.

• Please include a header on each page of your document with your surname, title and page number.

• Your document should be formatted in Times New Roman, 12pt., with double line spacing and indented paragraphs (double line spacing does not apply to poetry).

• We presently do not accept works in translation, visual art, non-narrative poetry, or nonfiction.

• In case of acceptance, please also include a brief biography in the third person of approximately 75 words, including any personal social media links (such as a Twitter or personal website) that you’d like to share.
