Stories
The World of Myth considers stories in the following genres: Action, Adventure, Horror, Fantasy, Humor and Science Fiction. We accept a variety of story submissions, ranging from “Flash” fiction (under 100 words), short-shorts (under 500 words) and short stories (under 3,000 words). While we do publish stories longer than 3,000 words, they will be serialized in more than one issue if accepted.

We prefer stories submitted as an MS-Word or Rich Text Format document, although we do accept submissions embedded in the body of the e-mail text (contact the editor before submitting in other formats). Submissions should be double spaced with one inch margins, non-justified and sent as an e-mail attachment. Please include a cover letter with your story that includes: your name, e-mail address, word count, title of story, the genre, a brief story description and a short bio. (Stories longer than 3,000 words will require a synopsis, outline or more thorough description.)

Be advised that TWoM is not interested in stories containing explicit sex, strong profanity or excessive violence. Our magazine is intended to be enjoyable for young and old alike. Don’t send in anything that you wouldn’t want your own teen to read. In any event, the Editor in Chief has the final say in what is or is not published.

If your story is accepted, please indicate if you would like to include a webpage link at time of publication. Send all stories and poems here: Submissions.

Poetry
Poems should be 500 words or less and you may submit up to three poems at a time.

Payment
At this time, The World of Myth is a completely voluntary venture, which means all we can offer is a showcase for talent. As such, reprints are welcome. Any stories or artwork may include a link to a website the author or artist requests. To re-emphasize, we do not offer any type of payment for submissions published on the site. Copyrights remain with the author at all times.

Reply Time
Please allow up to four weeks for a reply to any submissions.
