Welcome to InkSpin, an eclectic online literary journal that will publish noteworthy short stories in June and December. We are open to all genres except children’s literature. Each issue will contain up to ten stories depending upon the quality of manuscripts received. ADVICE: Send us your best. Dazzle us, enlighten us, move us. Write with passion and conviction.

We seek work from established authors and welcome submissions from writers whose unpublished work shows exceptional promise. We are not interested in polemical prose or didactic politicizing. We look for stories that are firmly rooted in character, display a distinctive narrative voice and appeal to a wide audience. No pornography. No erotica.

How to Submit

Now accepting submissions year around!

Short stories of 250 – 5000 words will be considered for publication. Send manuscripts to Editor@InkSpin.Com. (One story per author.) Submit in plain text in the body of email. We will not open attachments. Single space text, double space between paragraphs and dialogue. No indents.  Use New Times Roman, 12 point, if possible. Place the word count, the story title, the genre, your name, address and email address in a prologue at the start of the text of the manuscript. Also place the title of the story and genre in the email subject line. No previously published works. No simultaneous submissions. We acquire first world-wide serial electronic rights. We respond in two months or less, and we may comment on the manuscript. InkSpin pays $20 (U.S.) for each story published, and the name of all our authors and the titles of their stories will be submitted to all the major search engines and featured by referral from www.WordSpinnersInk.Com, a high-traffic web site of WordSpinners Ink, a 19-year-old world-wide organization of professional fiction writers. A brief bio will be requested should your story be selected.
