“What we want:

Short Stories 500- 2,000 words.

Multiple submissions, simultaneous submissions, it’s all good.

Reprints and Repods are swell.  We tell ‘em fresh.

DC likes fantasy/sci-fi/horror stories that are humorous , bizarre, gross, disturbing, badass.  Really dark, heavy pieces that have lots of disturbing images or language stand less of a chance of being accepted.  But ya never know.

Please include word count and bio information along with your story in the body of the email.  You may attach as an rtf or doc file instead but it’s slightly less convenient for us.

We currently offer 1.5 cents per word for stories 500-2000 words long.  In some cases we will accept stories longer than 2000 words.  If we solicit you for a story we usually negotiate a price that is higher than our standard pay rate.

Stories under 500 words (including 100 word Drabble stories) are published on a pro bono basis at this point.

Response time is 1-6 weeks.  All submissions are responded to.  Might be a form rejection (sorry!) but maybe not.”
