Fireside Fiction: $500 for Short Stories
They aim to publish 10,000 new
words of fiction each month – paying writers for every word published. They do
have a strong preference for stories that are 1,000 words or shorter, because
of their limit of 10,000 words a month. A longer story must be quite strong in
order to be accepted. They previously accepted stories up to 5,000 words in
length. They have changed their policy to just 4,000 words, capping the maximum
pay at $500.
They are currently accepting
submissions of Flash Fiction until March 25th. On April 16th, they will accept
short stories and flash fiction.
According to their submission
guidelines:
“Fireside’s goal is to publish
great storytelling, regardless of genre. What do we mean by great storytelling?
We want stories that go somewhere, with plot and a beginning, middle, and end.
We’re not looking for character studies or metafiction or hallucinatory
visions. (We LIKE those things; it’s just not what we publish in Fireside.)”
To get a sense of what they
publish.
