See the Elephant is a new semi-pro e-zine published by Metaphysical CircusPress. To learn about the kind of fiction we publish, please see MCP Style & What We’re Seeking.

  • Our open submissions period for the 2016 issues will be Sept 1-Oct 31, 2015 through our Submittable Account (see link below).
  • If you were personally invited to submit, please include a note that mentions which editor invited you.
  • You must be signed up for our mailing list in order to be considered for publication, unless you were personally invited to submit by one of our editors (even then, we hope you will). This is because we are building a community of writers. We need your support to make this a success.
  • Length: 500-6000 words. Longer may be considered if it is suitable for serialization. We are interested in original work only.
  • Pay: 6c per word for original content, max $200. 2c per word for reprints published in the magazine, maximum $100. 1c per word for web only reprints, max $50.
  • Simultaneous Submissions: This year we prefer that you not submit elsewhere at the same time. We will try to reply to all work within one month of submission with a decline or notice that the work has moved to the next round of selection.
  • Multiple Submissions: No, unless the submission is flash fiction (under 1000 words) in which case you may send up to three.
  • Reprints:  Yes, provided the story is not currently available for free elsewhere on the web. Don’t let those great stories languish! If you have a new book out, having reprints on the web can serve as a great promotional tool for you.
  • Response Times:  We hope to get back to everyone within 1 month of submission. If it’s been longer, feel free to query and we will let you know where things stand.
  • To Submit:
    • Work must be professionally formatted. For an example see William Shun’s guide. Please be sure that your work is polished, as typos and grammatical errors will make our eyes cross and render us unable to continue reading your submission.
