About the journal
Not since the Gutenberg Bible has there been a publishing revolution to match that of the Internet. Yet, even as the Internet enlarges our view, it diminishes our literary horizons. The people who write great stories have fewer places to publish and fewer people to read their work. In the United States alone, there has been a loss of twenty million readers between the ages of eighteen and forty.
Thats why Narrative Magazine was founded in 2003 with the single mission to bring great literature into the digital age, and to provide it for free. Stories, poetry, essays, novel excerpts, articles, and interviews are availablewithout subscription to readers everywhere. With an audience of 30,000 readers, Narrative Magazine has brought together online readers with the best literary minds in the world to reverse the downward trend in reading.
But we need to do more. We need to reach more. We need to raise more funds.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Narrative depends on your U.S. tax-deductible donation to ensure the vibrant growth of contemporary literature.

Instructions to Authors
Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions of previously unpublished manuscripts of all lengths, from short short stories to complete book-length works. Narrative regularly publishes fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, including stories, novels, novel excerpts, novellas, personal essays, humor, sketches, memoirs, literary biographies, commentary, reportage, interviews, and features of interest to readers who take pleasure in storytelling and imaginative prose. For poetry submissions, Narrative is open to all forms and genres. We look for quality and originality of language and content. We do not accept translations. If you are interested in sending your work for consideration, please read the following guidelines carefully. You may wish to print out this page so that you can refer to it as you submit your manuscript.
Submissions may be sent to us at any time, year-round. We accept multiple submissions, since we feel that it¡¯s unreasonable to expect writers to give a magazine an exclusive look at a work unless the magazine can respond within two to three weeks. We want writers to have every possible opportunity for success, so we¡¯re willing to risk losing a story we want when someone at another magazine may have done their reading before we have, and in that case we¡¯ll be sorry to lose the piece but happy for the writer. Our response time varies from four to twelve weeks, with the slowest times usually being August/September and December/January.
Except during our open-submission periods, we require a reading fee for submission, as follows:
reading fee for short short stories of 750 to 2,000 words.
reading fee for up to five poems in a single submission.
reading fee for short audio (MP3) submissions of poetry. Audio poetry submissions may be up to five minutes in length.
reading fee for short audio (MP3) submissions of prose, for our TELL ME A STORY category (see description below). Audio prose submissions may be up to five minutes in length.
reading fee for a single manuscript (fiction or nonfiction) of 2,000 to 10,000 words in length.
reading fee for novellas and book-length works.
All submissions, with a reading fee, from new or emerging writers are eligible for the $4,000 Narrative Prize awarded annually.
For all accepted manuscripts of 750 to 2,000 words we pay between $150 and $350 on publication. For all accepted manuscripts of 2,000 to 10,000 words, we pay $350 to $1,000 on publication. For all book-length works accepted for serialization, we pay a minimum of $1,000 to $10,000 on publication and may offer more, depending on the length and nature of the work. For more information on our program of serializations, please click here. For each accepted poem, we pay $50, on publication.
