MONO.: Accepting Submissions

MONO. accepts unpublished flash fiction, poetry, short stories up to 2,000 words, and amateur monochrome photography.

This is how they describe themselves: “MONO. is a literary journal inviting dark humour, satire and brutally honest reflections on ordinary life that sit on the borderline of the melancholic and amusing. Forget the rules.”

They are a UK-based publisher that was founded in 2021. Because they are so new, at the time of this review there is nothing featured on the blog at all. This makes it sort of hard to gauge exactly what they are seeking in terms of the darkly humorous – but at least that is a starting point.

You can submit up to 3 short stories and 10 poems at a time, all via email.

Emily Harstone is the author of many popular books, including The Authors Publish Guide to Manuscript SubmissionsSubmit, Publish, Repeat, and The 2020 Guide to Manuscript Publishers.

She regularly teaches three acclaimed courses on writing and publishing at The Writer’s Workshop at Authors Publish. You can follow her on Facebook here.
