Submissions

Me, upon receiving your fantastic and horrific work.

The Dread Literary Review is always open for submissions for weekly shorts and monthly magazines. We publish poetry, flash fiction (under 1k words) and short fiction (up to 5k words).

Please submit your work in any file format to maavera47@gmail.com. At this time we are not able to offer payment for work, but fingers crossed for the future!

Simultaneous submissions are okay. Previously published work is also okay, so long as you retain the rights to your work. Our writers and poets retain their rights to this work, we only take rights to one-time internet publication.

Cover letters are encouraged, even if you just want to talk about your favorite scary movies. At least give yourself an author bio detailing where you’re from.

Please note that the Dread is a literary magazine for horror and speculative writing. Writing in other genres will not be considered for publication.
