Have you written an exceptional short story? The NY Literary Magazine is now accepting unsolicited flash fiction, fiction, and non-fiction short story submissions. We invite both new, emerging writers and established international writers of all ages to submit their short stories to our literary magazine.

The NY Literary Magazine is searching for creative writers with a fresh, distinctive voice and a unique, captivating writing style. We seek remarkable stories that stand out from the rest and are enjoyable to read and memorable. Whether your short story is sad, touching, funny, or aimed at children, it must have a strong hook and a good story line.

Each writer may submit up to 5 short stories for free.

We are accepting short stories in the following genres:

  • Fantasy stories
  • General fiction short stories

  • Fiction and non-fiction stories about life, living, and death. Tell a touching story about real life experiences, memorable moments, and disruptive, life-changing events.
  • Family stories. Share a story about a family member who passed away, a sweet childhood memory, a heart-warming story about a pet, or a special experience you had concerning yourself as a child or your family.
