Urban Pigs Press are open for your stories! This time we are lucky to have the fantastically brilliant A.J. Stanton standing in as Feature Editor for September.
A.J. is looking for your crime stories prompted by a theme of Unintended Consequences set in the past, present or future.
Word count is between 500-1500 words but we’re not going to turn our noses up if it’s slightly over.
This window will close on or around the 30th September and the accepted stories will feature on our site throughout the month.
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 A.J. to consider your work please include a short third-person bio, author photo (optional), 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 (zine) 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.

About A.J. Stanton…
Art Stanton is a complete square. He grew up and lives in the UK in a town notable only for making shoes. He has worked a whole host of shitty jobs over the years and used to drink to forget. Through no fault of his own, he is now in middle-management hell at a large construction company where he spends his days sitting in endless meetings, drawing pictures of pigeons, and wondering what’s for lunch. His novella, Sex Robots Must Die, was published in 2022.

Sex Robots Must Die by A. J. Stanton
Davlav is experiencing an existential crisis. He is tired of his job at the robotic sex palace, he’s in love with one of the workers, and now he’s caught up in a war between the Federal government and a group of rebels. To make matters worse, he isn’t sure what’s real anymore and can’t even afford the drugs he likes.
