Story Bleed Magazine accepts unpublished and previously published original work:
nonfiction, fiction, poetry, art, and photography.

All submissions for our Online edition are considered for our Print edition, as well. We will contact you for alternative publication permission if your work is selected for Print.
Please do not simultaneously submit the same piece for both Online and Print; we consider all submissions for both platforms, select according to the best venue for each piece, but take notice of your preference.

Please note: due to time constraints, incomplete submissions will be disregarded. Please be thorough.


Guidelines for consideration in the ONLINE edition of Story Bleed Magazine:

• In your cover letter/biography, please include your full name, plus a link to your blog/ original post, and your twitter handle (if applicable). Please let us know if your submission is previously unpublished. You may include additional notes.
• If your previously published post is coming from a group blog, make sure that you have permission to republish your work outside of that blog.
• If photos in your post are not your own, please link them to their source or note credit, whenever possible.
• Posts are published in full or edited for content (with notice for approval). You retain all copyright.
• Please submit no more than two posts before you receive a response. Submitting multiple posts dilutes our ability to focus on your best work and will delay publication.
• If you haven't received a response within twelve weeks of submitting your work, please contact us at editorialdirector@storybleed.com.
