The Midnight Fawn Review: Now Seeking Submissions

The Midnight Fawn Review is a new online publisher of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and art. They aim to create a home for new and emerging authors, and they are, “dedicated to supporting marginalized communities.” Above all, they simply love beautiful language, and they’re interested in publishing writing, “that moves us and makes us stare in awe at its elegance and skill.”

The first issue of The Midnight Fawn contains writing and artwork from around 30 contributors. It’s available for free as a downloadable pdf, and you can read the journal to get a sense of what they publish.

The Midnight Fawn holds four submission periods each year: December 1 through January 15, March 1 through April 15, June 1 through July 15, and September 1 through October 15.

Poets may submit up to three poems, totaling six pages or fewer. Authors of fiction and nonfiction may submit up to three micros, 500 words or fewer each, or up to two longer pieces, 1,500 words or fewer each. They accept all forms, styles, and genres of writing, and they nominate authors published in the journal for the Pushcart Prize.

The Midnight Fawn accepts submissions via email, not online or by post. They accept simultaneous submissions but ask that authors withdraw writing published elsewhere. They do not accept previously published writing; however, they do accept writing that has been published in journals that are now defunct. Such submissions should be noted in the cover letter.

The Midnight Fawn only accepts submissions that follow the guidelines they’ve posted online. Please read these guidelines in full before submitting.
