Skip to Main Content Home View Your Submissions The Forge Literary Magazine Our Process The Forge Literary Magazine publishes one prose piece per week selected by a rotating cast of editors. Each submission is read anonymously. If a story is chosen to move forward, it is read by our Editors of the Month who make the final decisions on the stories they receive. Since we are a diverse, international group of writers, our tastes and styles are wide-ranging. Read more about us here . Questions? Please email us . Fiction and Nonfiction We accept unsolicited submissions via Submittable . We prefer stories below 3,000 words . Please do not send pieces over 5,000 words. We love flash and micro prose.
