Simultaneous submissions are fine. No previously published work.
Please note that we do not accept unsolicited fiction submissions.
Payment comes in the form of $50- per poet published, plus one contributor’s copy. Burnside Review assumes the right to publish poems on their website as well as in the physical issue. All rights revert back to the author after printing.
We suggest reading a copy of the issue before submitting. At the very least you should read the poems here on the website, to see the kind of work we’ve published in the past.
Short Fiction - $3.00
Size limit: 5000 Words Total
We're looking for anything from a group of flash fiction pieces to a traditional short story, so long as the word total does not exceed 5000 words. We like story, we like character, but we don't like hobgoblins. Barthelme, Munro, Carver and Bender are some of the folks whose work we love.
