Urban Pigs Press is now open for submissions in short and flash fiction ranging from 500 words to 2500 max. To celebrate our first book release we are looking for stories relating to the above call “Life in Dirt”. We are open to a wide range of genres but find that CRIME, HORROR and GRITTY REALISM work best. Please read and familiarise yourself with our previously published work before submitting.

This window will close on the 19th November and the accepted stories will feature on our site throughout November and December.

We are not accepting poetry at this current time unless it is story based. We will not tolerate any hate speech whether homophobic, racism or any other form.

If you’d like us to consider your work please include a short third-person bio, author photo, a short pitch and attach your work in a word compatible format (Word.doc works best). Please also include social links so we can share and tag you.

Urban Pigs Press is currently a not-for-profit entity and therefore we can’t offer any form of payment for submissions. We respectfully ask that successful applicants do not share the accepted piece on any other platform for at least two months. We do not accept previously published work. Simultaneous submissions are fine but please let us know if they are accepted elsewhere.

We aim to respond to all queries as soon as possible. If you haven’t heard from us within two weeks of submitting and have followed all of the guidelines then please feel free to message us via email.

If you believe you meet all of the above and would like to send us your fiction for consideration then please do so via the email address below. We will not respond to emails that haven’t followed the guidelines.
