Short fiction for our online magazine
Urban Pigs Press is now open for submissions in poetry, short and flash fiction.
Urban Pigs Press are now back open for your short story submissions!
To celebrate the upcoming release of A.J. Stanton’s Gutter Punch, we thought it would only be fitting to invite the man behind this brilliant book and banging cover to run a guest spot for us.
A.J. is looking for your short stories prompted by Deception/Hypocrisy. Submissions should be between 500-1500 words only.
If you want A.J. to consider your work then please email urbanpigsguest@outlook.com with the title Gutter Punch, a brief cover letter introducing yourself, your story and a bio. A lovely mug shot is welcome but not essential. All submissions must be attached as a Word.doc and please make sure you read all of our submission guidelines.
Successful submissions will be released on the website from the 20th October. The window is open from now until the release date of Gutter Punch – 26th October unless otherwise specified.
We look forward to reading what you send!
