What they accept

Meniscus is an online literary journal published by the Australasian Association of Writing Programs, reading submissions twice a year via Submittable, usually from 1 November to 1 January and from 1 June to 1 August. Its fiction call takes up to two prose pieces of up to 3,000 words each, and up to three flash fictions of up to 500 words, within a limit of five works in total, and writers must advise if work is simultaneously submitted elsewhere. No payment rate or submission fee is stated on the page checked.
