Taking Submissions: Apparition Lit July 2022 Contest

July 14, 2022

Submission Window: July 1st-14th, 2022
Prize: $30.
Theme: Inspired by the image above

Apparition Lit is a speculative fiction magazine that publishes themed issues four times a year.

We publish poems and stories between 1k-5k words in January, April, July, and October. We also hold monthly flash fiction contests between the 1st and 15th of each month. Flash stories must be under a 1000 words and be inspired or based on the chosen theme. Full details for submission guidelines are below.

Submissions for Flash Fiction (pieces under 1k) will be accepted on the first 14 days of every month (For example, January Flash submissions will be accepted January 1-14). Stories must be based on the image prompt for that month. No rejections will be sent for flash submissions, and one winning story will be selected each month. After the selected writer is notified, their story will be posted in the 4th week of the month.

  1. Format the story using the Shunn manuscript
  2. Please only use Times New Roman or Arial font in your document
  3. Name the file using the story title and your last name, i.e. THE SWAMP EXCHANGE_Barker
  4. Save as an RTF file and attach to an email (must be an attached file, not a link to Google Doc)
  5. In the text of the email, provide a brief cover letter that only includes your name, the title of the flash, word count, and any relevant publications
  6. Edit the subject line so it reads: FLASH SUBMISSION: Title of Your Story
