What they accept

Passages North's short-short category, the venue's flash-length call, accepts up to three short-shorts (fiction, nonfiction, prose poems, or hybrids) in one document, each beneath 1,000 words, and is usually open September 1 through April 15. Contributors receive a copy of their issue and no monetary payment; regular submissions are free, with an optional paid Rocket Fuel category mentioned for when the free monthly submission limit is reached, and the category may close when that limit is hit. Simultaneous submissions are accepted.
