FaithHopeandFiction.com welcomes submissions of original short stories, essays, and poetry to \u201cinspire and entertain,\u201d which covers a lot of emotional territory. (No graphic sex or excessive four-letter language–think of this site as PG-13.) But if you write raw feelings, life unfiltered and uncompromised, and the search for some kind of meaning amid this chaos, we want to hear from you!<\/p>\n

We do not pay for stories (it\u2019s a free site–sorry!). But, you retain the copyright and may reuse, republish (etc. etc.) to your heart\u2019s desire. Our acceptance rate currently is very high, about 75%. For stories that make the initial cut, we provide a lot of feedback, often editing with track changes. So if you welcome the kind of feedback you might get in a workshop, and don\u2019t mind the multicolored comments that come with track changes, then try a submission. First, though, send a brief query about the piece to Tricia via\u00a0the Contact button at the bottom of this page. The new FaithHopeandFiction now publishes on a rolling basis, and we do our best to respond quickly. (But \u201cwe\u201d is mostly \u201cme,\u201d so patience is appreciated. If you do not hear in a reasonable amount of time, resend your query.)<\/p>\n

Here are a few more helpful guidelines:<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Original short stories:<\/strong> from flash fiction (200 words) up to longer pieces of 5,000 — 6,000 words.<\/li>\n
  2. Original essays:<\/strong> particularly those exploring personal experience, message\/meaning. No politics or preaching, please. (500 to 2,000 words)<\/li>\n
  3. Original Poetry:<\/strong> short poems that inspire and explore emotional territory.<\/li>\n
  4. Art & Photography:<\/strong> we have a small gallery and welcome digital submissions of photos or artwork\u2014provided that you own the copyright.<\/li>\n
  5. Only submissions written in Word can be considered. Submissions that are \u201ccut and pasted\u201d into emails will be returned.<\/li>\n
  6. Contact\u00a0Patricia and we\u2019ll get the conversation started.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you like the site please pass the word: sign up for the Newsletter, share a page link with your friends\u00a0or\u00a0Tweet it, and join the Facebook<\/a> community page.<\/p>\n
