Free Submissions (Private Link)

Stone Soup subscribers and others invited by the Stone Soup staff may use this form to submit Poetry, Stories and Plays free of charge. Submissions in these categories are chargeable for non-subscribers. 

Please use the standard forms for submissions in other categories (Art, Blog posts, Music, etc.).

NEW GUIDELINE FOR REPEAT SUBMITTERS: 

After having work accepted to the magazine, please wait at least six months before submitting again in any genre. This will help us ensure greater diversity of contributors in each issue. Thank you! 

Important Notes

• Our current response time is about three months. We wish we could respond with personal feedback, but the volume of submissions received and the small size of our staff make this impossible.
• To make sure that you receive our e-mail responses, set your spam filter to accept messages from editor@stonesoup.com. Otherwise, notifications may end up in your "junk" or "spam" folder, or be deleted by your e-mail system. You can also check the status of your submission at any time by logging into your Submittable account.
• We can only consider submissions written in the English language. We welcome translations of work into English.
• We consider only previously unpublished work. Work that has appeared online for any reason is considered to have been previously published and should not be submitted. However, we can be flexible. If you are unsure whether your piece counts as published or not, please write to editor@stonesoup.com..
