Submission Guidelines

• -ette loves small form: prose poetry, micro and flash fiction. To get an idea of what we like, please read our latest issue. Before sending work, check out the theme.
• Please send one flash or up to two micro fictions and/or prose poems (we do not accept poetry or nonfiction submissions at this time).
• Total submission word count should not exceed 1,000 words.
• Send your work as a PDF. Include your name and contact information on the first page. Number the pages. Use a common, 12-point font. Please double-space fiction. Prose poetry may be single-spaced.
• Please include a short bio as well as your social media handles with your submission. 
• Work submitted to -ette must be wholly original. Do not submit plagiarized or AI-generated work to -ette.
• We take simultaneous submissions, but please notify us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.
• Regular response times vary, but we try to respond within 1–3 months.
• If your work is accepted for publication, we ask for first-time publication rights and the right to retain the work in our archives. If republished elsewhere, please credit -ette review.
• We ask that writers only submit once per submission period. Contributors should wait six months to resubmit.
• -ette will not read or publish racist, homophobic, anti-trans, or misogynistic writing.
• -ette is a tiny operation of two, so unfortunately, we cannot offer payment at this time. You will, however, receive the drawing that accompanies your published piece. In case of publication, Beth will want to send it to you.
• Ready? Email work to submissions@ettereview.com. In the subject line, include your name and the category of submission (fiction, micro, prose poetry).

Your -ette editors,
Beth Hahn (she/her) and Nora Maynard (she/her)
