Submissions: Fiction

Current Status: CLOSED

November 19, 2012—Due to the tremendous volume we've received in just a few months, ChiZine.com is currently closed to both fiction and poetry submissions. So that we don't give our faithful slush readers brain aneurisms, we will be closed until mid-2013 or thereabouts. Please check back here for an update as to when we'll re-open. We thank you, and the tired eyes of our slushies thank you.
