Pear Noir! welcomes unsolicited submissions of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry up to 3000 words:

February 1 - April 30
August 1 - October 31

We are amenable to simultaneous submissions; however, please notify us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. We are not interested in previously published material. This includes work that has appeared in print or online in any form.

By submitting your work for consideration, you are granting Pear Noir! first publication rights, as well as non-exclusive publication rights for future issues and anthologies. If your work is accepted, you will receive one contributor's copy as payment. All rights revert to the author on publication.

To submit, paste up to five works, along with your address and a short biography/publication history, in the body of an email and send it to pearnoir [at] gmail [dot] com. We do not open attachments. Be sure to include your name and the title of your submission in the subject line.
