Literary Mama

Literary Mama publishes literary writing about motherhood and mothering, and its fiction department is open to anyone who identifies as a mother or with the journey of motherhood or the act of mothering, including those hoping to conceive, those who have lost a child, those providing parental care, and fathers whose caretaking role fits that description. It takes one story at a time of up to 5,000 words, including flash fiction, with most published stories between 1,000 and 3,500 words; simultaneous submissions are accepted, only previously unpublished work is considered, it is not currently a paying market, and it typically responds within three months.
