Short Stories

9vt is seeking fiction and creative nonfiction short stories for inclusion in our upcoming anthology. Submissions may be in any genre or on any subject matter, but should be no longer than 10,000 words.

There is no limit to the number of stories an author may submit. However, we ask that authors submitting flash-length pieces (under 1,500 words) submit at least two stories for consideration.

We are especially interested in distinct voices, experimental forms, and unconventional prose.

Our soft deadline is August 1st, but submissions are considered on a rolling basis—we’ll close the call as soon as the remaining spots in the anthology are filled. Early submissions are encouraged.

Please notify us if a piece is accepted elsewhere.
