Moon City Review accepts submissions of fiction, flash fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, graphic narrative, and translations. Please use our online submissions system at Submittable to send us your work. Besides attaching your file, please use the text box to type in a cover letter. This is the only way to submit to Moon City Review—USPS submissions will neither be read nor responded to. Since submissions are open year-round, response times may be slower in the summer.

Authors are limited to one story (up to 8,000 words) or three shorts per submission. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable if prompt notification is given through Submittable of its acceptance elsewhere.

Authors may submit up to three pieces of flash fiction at a time, and each piece should be no more than 1,000 words. Please submit all pieces in a single document. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable if prompt notification is given through Submittable of its acceptance elsewhere.
