Call for short stories and poetry – now open!
Urban Pigs Press have once again searched the neighborouring farms for a guest Editor to join us at the trough. This time we’ve been lucky enough to secure the services of AJ Deane. A writer of many talents, AJ has cemented his literary status locally to us and boasts quite the CV.
AJ is looking for poems or short stories under a 1000 words and must be in a Word doc. format. The call is focused on the prompt JUSTICE.
Submission window is open from now until 25th March and successful subs will feature on the zine throughout March/April.
If you’d like AJ to consider your work please include a short third-person bio, author photo (optional) 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. Send submissions to urbanpigsguest@outlook.com with the subject JUSTICE.
We will not tolerate any hate speech whether homophobic, racism or any other form.
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.

By submitting your work you confirm that your submission is owned and controlled by you. Agree that Urban Pigs Press have the right to publish your work online.
