Current
‘NEW HOME‘
Falling Star Magazine announces its new themed issue ‘New Home.’
We’re looking for short stories between 2,000 – 5,000 words on the theme of having to move forward to, heading toward and eventually finding a new home. This can take a lot of forms, and we’re willing to read them all. However:
WE DO NOT PUBLISH FIRST PERSON NARRATIVES. We will auto-reject anything told in an ‘I-Me-My’ vein. Wanna tell the story of how your family moved west from their long-time homestead on the east coast? Cool. Think at the very least like Phillip Roth and have a thinly disguised version of yourself as the protagonist.
FICTION. Between 2k-5,000 words. Double-spaced.
POETRY. We’ll be publishing 1-5 pieces total in the book. All pieces must be under 50 words and on theme. Single spacing. No more than five works per author.
FORMATTING: All manuscripts should be in standard Word (no PDFs and no .DOCX), have your contact info (name, address, phone and email) on the top left corner. Please include a bio at the end.
PAYMENT: Poetry $10. Fiction pays $20. All payments via Paypal. We nominate for the Pushcart Awards.
ILLUSTRATIONS: Got one you’d like to add to your piece? Add it as an attachment and we’ll see if it works.

NOTE: That’s a Mail.com address, not Gmail.
DEADLINE: February 11, 2024.
