What we publish

We accept creative fiction and nonfiction between 800 and 4,000 words. We look for short stories that stick with you, lingering in the memory long after reading, and essays that explore specific interests or issues from a new perspective. We offer a space for writers to be strange, bold and experimental, and to express their unique style however they see fit.

Extra Teeth is a Scottish magazine with an international outlook—meaning that we will always champion and cultivate great Scottish writing, but we also publish work from writers located elsewhere. We especially welcome submissions from underrepresented groups.

We do not currently publish poetry, scripts, translations or artwork, outside of the work of our guest illustrator for each issue.

what we pay

We offer £100 for each selected piece, as well as two copies of the magazine in which the piece is featured. We pay via bank transfer within 30 days of receipt of a signed publishing agreement.

ILLUSTRATORS

We commission one guest illustrator per issue. If you would like to be considered, please send your work to [email protected] with ILLUSTRATOR in the subject line.

Illustrators are paid £500 and work alongside our designer to create the tone and feel of the magazine issue.
