Who we are and what we’re looking for

Fictions is a publication started by Danielle Loewen, Paul Combs, and Eric Pierce to give quality fiction a place to shine.
We are, first and foremost, lovers of the written word. We want to be bowled over by thunderous prose; catapulted into foreign lands; hoodwinked into cavorting with gods and kings and peasants.
Fiction is the purest form of storytelling. So tell us a story.
Our publishing philosophy
We vet potential writers upfront in order to ensure a certain level of quality to every story we run, and we only publish a few stories a day. Our goal is to give each piece the most exposure possible by not having it compete with a dozen other stories in the same publication.
What we’re looking for
- Strong writing.
- Fiction only. No poetry, though we love poetic prose!
- Stories that are at least a 5-minute read.
- We encourage genre fiction but will accept literature if the writing is strong.
- Long-form stories serialized across multiple posts.
