Our mission is to provide an accessible path to writers and poets, for showcasing their work and broadening their reach, so that readers across the globe can discover new works. We are always open for submissions but there are specific deadlines for our quarterly editions of Etched Onyx magazine and the Story Discovery Podcast. All applications must come through our Submittable portal (you can acc
ess the link through our website www.onyxpublications.com). Submitted works must be previously unpublished fiction, nonfiction, flash fiction and poetry. We do not require that you put the story's life on hold while applying to us, therefore simultaneous submissions are fine, but please do let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. You are welcome to include a cover letter, though, it is not required as it gives us more to read. We know waiting for responses can be a nail-biting experience (and may even include some cuticles) so we try to respond to all entries about one month out from the magazine publish date. We are open to all styles and types of writing as long as the story is engaging. While we are not opposed to experimental or speculative types of fiction, it has to be interesting and understandable. All works must be under 5,000 words.
