Hindsight welcomes submissions from writers at any point in their careers, published or otherwise, and we are actively looking for voices that have not traditionally been represented in the literary world.
Response time varies, but we hope to get back to you within 4 weeks. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer individualized feedback on submissions.
We are open to almost any style, whether experimental or more traditionally narrative, but before you submit, it's a good idea to get a sense of the kind of work we publish in the Reading Room. It's free!
We publish primarily prose and graphic fiction. We do not generally publish poetry.
Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please do withdraw your submission immediately if accepted elsewhere.
All submissions must be previously unpublished, whether online or in print.
See genre specific instructions for additional details.
Thank you! We look forward to reading.

While we don't have any hard and fast rules on print submission length, keep in mind that the longer the piece, the longer the likely response time. We are one of the few print magazines that allow for long-form works, your not-so-short stories or even novellas, and your patience is appreciated! Keep in mind also that any work above, say, 10k words is likely to be serialized between 2 or more issues

We are eagerly looking for graphic narrative and hybrid work of (almost) any length, both fiction and non-fiction. There are no hard and fast rules, beyond common sense. If your work is especially long, feel free to pitch it to us first at fiction@hindsightmag.org
For prose work, submit no more than 2,000 words at a time. You can include up to three flash pieces per submission, so long as they total less than 2,000 words.

For graphic work, submit shorter pieces that will fit on a single page. We are open to a range of styles, whether narrative, abstract, cartographic (pirates welcome) or otherwise.
