New York Stories is seeking short fiction and non-fiction
Details:
www.newyorkstories.org
Stories should have strong
characters, fresh voices and distinctive angles of vision. We are open to the
best work we can find from around the world. The stories do not need to be set
in New York, but we do welcome stories that explore the city's diversity.
Stories above 5,000 words have less chance due to space constraints. We publish
six to eight an issue.
Non-fiction pieces should focus on
life in New York City and be creative in the tradition of Joseph Mitchell. We've
published pieces as diverse as a profile of Ludlow Street, a Queens childhood
memory and an account of a job in a bagel factory. At least one appears in each
issue.
Competition is intense. We pay for
your work on publication at rates competitive with major literary magazines.
