An established online journal, Storyscape sorts all its stories into three categories: “Truth,” “Untruth,” and “We Don’t Know and They Won’t Tell Us.” They’re interested in stories of all kinds—from overheard snippets to carefully crafted masterworks—in all forms and styles. They especially like genre-bending work and stories that employ unexpected storytelling modalities, such as audio and visual narratives. To get a sense of their style, you can read Storyscape online.
Storyscape has been published twice a year online since 2006. They accept submissions year-round; however, they tend to respond more slowly in the spring and fall around their publication dates. They try to respond to all submissions within three months.
Poets may submit up to five poems. Authors of prose may submit one piece at a time. Storyscape asks all authors to submit only once every six months.
Storyscape accepts submissions online, not via email or by post. They accept simultaneous submissions but ask that authors immediately withdraw work published elsewhere. They do not accept previously published work.
