About This Market
Flatmancrooked publishes good stories, both fiction and non-fiction. We ask that you limit your work to fewer than 10,000 words unless we give you permission otherwise. In regards to both the print anthology and website, Flatmancrooked acquires, respectively, only single print/electronic publication rights.
In the body of the cover letter or email include your legal name, pseudonym if applicable, address, phone number, and email address. Please include this information with mailed submissions as well. You may include a bio if you’d like.
Flatmancrooked considers all story titles working titles, regularly engages the author in an editorial process, and reserves the right to copy edit. Response time for work submitted varies wildly. Two months would be long, while a week would be average, a few days not altogether uncommon. We do not currently pay for online publication. We occasionally pay for print anthology publication. What we lack in funds we make up for in heart.
SHORT STORIES: Please include your story in the body of your email. If your story exceeds 10,000 words, please include the first 10k and note “Story available in its entirety upon request.” You may include a short bio for the author’s page.
BOOK-LENGTH: Please include the first 10,000 words of your book in the email. If this is a simultaneous submission, please make note of that in the email.
