Submission requests

OUR 2024 SEASONAL SUBMISSION WINDOW IS NOW OPEN!

We have decided to take a bit of a different approach this year and will be opening the submission window for our Halloween and Christmas specials simultaneously!

Beyond the seasonal themes there are no rules (other than those outlined in our general guidelines below). All you have to do is tell us a funny spooky/festive story!

We will not accept multiple submissions however you are free to send one submission for each issue. If you are submitting cartoons, you may submit five cartoons per issue.

Please note you may not receive a response until sub windows close, especially in the case of Christmas submissions as we will be looking at the Halloween submissions first.

Our seasonal issues have been huge hits in previous years and we look forward to seeing what you all come up with. Happy writing!

SHORT STORIES:  Minimum 500 words, maximum 3000.  

CARTOONS:  Maximum of five cartoons per submission.

PAYMENT:  We will pay a flat rate of £20.00 per accepted submission for stories. Flat rate of £5.00 per accepted cartoon submission.
